PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
An SLA establishes measurable service performance standards between provider and customer. This playbook explains methods to draft enforceable metrics, remedies for non-performance, and escalation procedures.
Scope of Work
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the scope of work is detailed and aligns with business objectives. Include specific timelines and acceptance criteria to avoid ambiguity.
Negotiate for flexibility in deliverables and timelines where possible, but ensure all responsibilities are clearly defined to prevent disputes.
Essential elements
1
Service Definition
Detailed list of services.
2
Deliverables
List with acceptance criteria.
3
Responsibilities
Defined roles and obligations.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the scope lacks clarity or detail, ensuring all elements are covered.
EDIT
Reject if the scope is vague or overly broad, risking scope creep.
ADD
Add new language if key elements like change management are missing.
PRO TIP
Always document any changes to the scope in writing to prevent misunderstandings.
