Service Level Agreement for Tech Incidents

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) informs how service tickets (technical incidents and reported issues) are prioritized.

Priority Information

The objective of the ITS Priority is to provide guidance for responding to incidents, service requests, and problems at CNM. Priority is derived from the combination of Impact and Urgency and reflects the organizational response required for the incident. Below is a description of each Priority and the corresponding SLA times.
