If service level agreement is used as a schedule that makes up the contract, it will be most likely to be a part of...?

APricing arrangement

BPerformance management framework

CExclusion of liabilities

DSpecifications

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

If a service level agreement is used as a schedule to a contract, it will generally have the following contents:

- Service definitions. If the service information is provided by the specification, SLA should only refer to the specification to avoid any inconsistencies.

- Details on how to measure KPIs, who will measure KPIs

- Minimum requirements or targets

- Remedies if the minimum requirements are not met

...

Since SLA often lists out the KPI targets, consequences for not meeting the KPI targets and remedies to situation of poor performance, it is a part of performance management.

C seems a bit off, SLAs usually cover performance, not exclusions.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about pricing arrangements including SLAs. It feels like it could fit there too.

I think the service level agreement is more about how the service will be delivered, so it might relate to the performance management framework.

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. Is the service level agreement related to pricing, liabilities, or the actual service specifications? I'll have to review my notes to figure out the right approach.

Okay, I've got this. Service level agreements are all about defining the expected performance and quality of the service, so they would most likely be part of the performance management framework within the contract.

D) Specifications, of course. Where else would you put the SLA? In the pricing section? Psh, amateur move.
