# Service Level Objective Management

Service Level Objective Management \(SLO Management\) helps your organization define, track, and meet agreed-upon service quality standards. It works alongside Service Level Agreements \(SLAs\) to help make sure that services meet customer expectations.

## Overview of how SLO Management works

-   SLAs set the expectations

    SLAs are formal agreements that outline the level of service a customer can expect. SLAs can include response times, resolution times, and uptime targets.

-   SLOs defines how to meet expectations

    SLOs are specific, measurable objectives that an organization sets to achieve the SLAs. They translate the broad goals of the SLA into actionable metrics.

-   ServiceNow SLO Management helps manage SLOs. It offers functionalities to:
    -   Define SLOs based on various metrics.
    -   Monitor SLO performance in real-time.
    -   Generate alerts when SLOs are at risk of being breached.
    -   Track historical data to identify trends and improve processes.
