what is your SLA?


SLA is an abbreviation for "Service Level Agreement". It means to have guaranteed reaction or resolving times for incidents (= trouble tickets).

For instance you could have defined the following SLA levels For example:

Gold: Reaction time = 30 minutes, resolving time = 4 hours
