Course Overview

Systems supporting technology service level agreements fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. The documentation for level agreements is accurate only until the next release. Participants who influence this aspect of technology and systems delivery without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The programme converts technology service level agreements from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. A common pattern is strong design of the technology and systems delivery capability paired with weak follow-through. Participants gain a realistic view of what level agreements costs and what it returns. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around technology service level agreements reduces downstream rework. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a technical standard for level agreements as they go. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this area of technology and systems delivery that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

06

Test level agreements under realistic load before it meets real load.

07
