Hi @Ramesh_143 ,

Follow these steps so that you can able to achieve what you want to perform

• Define SLAs: Create specific SLAs with response and resolution times.
• Assign SLAs: Automatically or manually assign SLAs to incidents.
• Monitor SLAs: Track progress and identify breaches.
• Analyze Performance: Review SLAs to improve processes

To Monitor SLA Progress These things to be done properly:

• SLA Timer: ServiceNow displays an SLA timer on the incident form, indicating the remaining time until the SLA deadline.  
• SLA Breaches: If an SLA is breached, ServiceNow will notify relevant stakeholders and highlight the incident in reports and dashboards.
• Reports and Dashboards: Use ServiceNow's built-in reporting and dashboard capabilities to track SLA performance over time.

Hi @Ramesh_143 

To calculate and track SLAs (Service Level Agreements) accurately for incident tickets in ServiceNow, follow these steps:

• Define SLA Conditions: Go to Service Level Management and define the conditions for your SLAs. This includes setting up the start, pause, and stop conditions for the SLA timer.
• Create SLA Definitions: Navigate to SLA Definitions and create new SLA definitions. Specify the target time, conditions, and workflow.
• Attach SLAs to Incident Records: Ensure that your incident records have the appropriate SLA definitions attached. This can be done automatically based on the conditions you set.
• Monitor SLA Progress: Use the SLA Management Dashboard to monitor the progress of your SLAs. This dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all active SLAs, their statuses, and any potential breaches.
• Track Elapsed Time: Understand the difference between Actual Elapsed Time and Business Elapsed Time. Use the Run SLA Calculation button on the task SLA form to get the latest elapsed times.
• Notifications and Escalations: Set up notifications and escalations to alert relevant stakeholders when an SLA is about to breach. This helps in proactive management of SLAs.
• Regular Reviews: Regularly review SLA performance and adjust the definitions as needed to ensure they align with your business goals and service delivery standards.

Thanks, and Regards

Hi @Ramesh_143 

1. Set Service Level Agreements (SLAs):

• Decide how quickly you need to respond to and resolve incidents.
• Create specific rules (SLAs) for different types of incidents.

2. Apply SLAs to Incidents:

• Automatically or manually assign the correct SLA to each incident.

3. Track SLA Performance:

• Use ServiceNow to see how well you're meeting your SLA goals.
• Get alerts when SLAs are at risk or broken.

4. Improve Processes:

• Analyze SLA data to find ways to work faster and better.
