Overview
When one team runs a service that others depend on, expectations drift: response times are assumed, owners are unclear and nobody knows when to escalate. This template sets out the services, targets, measurement, responsibilities, escalation path and review in seven designed pages, with no money changing hands.
The sample covers Platform Engineering at a fictional company, Inkberry Cloud, serving three internal services: pipelines, managed databases and containers. Replace the services, targets, owners, contacts and dates with your own, and set targets you can already meet from last quarter's data.
Useful for
- A platform team agrees reliability targets with the product teams that depend on it
- An IT or data team documents response times and who to call for each priority
- An engineering director reviews quarterly whether each shared service met its targets
What's included
- A services page with three covered services and what each includes
- A service levels page with a scorecard, a target table and measurement definitions
- A RACI matrix showing who does, approves, advises and is informed
- An escalation path with response times and contacts for each level
- A quarterly review with what worked, what to fix, key dates and follow-up actions

Questions
Why does this SLA have no credits?
Internal teams share a budget, so credits move nothing. A missed target triggers a review and a recovery plan instead. Add a credits section if you charge back.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a working template for internal agreements. If it will be part of a contract with a customer, have counsel review the wording before anyone signs.
Are the team and numbers real?
No. Inkberry Cloud, its people and every figure are fictional sample content. Replace them with your own service names, targets and contacts.
