Why an IT Support Policy Matters
"IT will get back to you" is not a support policy. An IT support policy defines what support is available, how to request it, what response times to expect, and what happens when things go wrong. It manages expectations and creates accountability.
SLA Framework
| Priority | Definition | Response Time | Resolution Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 — Critical | System down, multiple users affected, revenue impact | 15 minutes | 4 hours |
| P2 — High | Major functionality impaired, single user critical | 1 hour | 8 hours |
| P3 — Normal | Routine request, minor issue | 4 hours | 24 hours |
| P4 — Low | Feature request, documentation, non-urgent | 24 hours | 5 business days |
