SLA in ServiceNow (Complete Course): From Fundamentals to Reporting and Breach Management

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are a core part of delivering reliable IT services in ServiceNow. However, in many real implementations, SLAs are misunderstood, incorrectly configured, or poorly reported. Teams often ask why breaches happen unexpectedly, how SLA timing is calculated, and how to create reports that truly reflect operational performance.

To close these gaps, I created a complete SLA in ServiceNow playlist that walks through everything from foundational concepts to advanced reporting, breach tracking, scheduling, and SLA calculations directly in the platform. This course focuses on real usage, not theory.

Why This SLA Playlist Matters

Many ServiceNow users understand what SLAs are, but far fewer understand how they actually behave inside the platform. This playlist explains how SLAs attach to tasks and service requests, how the platform calculates time behind the scenes, why breaches occur, and how to design reports that drive improvement. The goal is to help admins, developers, and architects build SLA frameworks that work in real environments.
