Line 21:
SLOs should generally be specified in terms of an achievement value or service level, a target measurement, a measurement period, and where and how measured. As an example, "90% of calls to the helpdesk should be answered in less than 20 seconds measured over a one month period as reported by the [[Automatic call distributor|ACD system]]". Results can be reported by the percent of time that the target answer time was achieved compared to the desired service level (90%).
 
The use of the term ''SLO'' is deprecated in ITIL V3 to Service Level Target, not to be confused with [[service level requirement|Service Level Requirement]] defined in the [[service design]]. However it is found in various scientific papers, for instance in the reference architecture of the SLA@SOI project <ref>"SLA@SOI Reference Architecture. White paper", http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sla-at-soi/browser/platform/trunk/doc/SLA%40SOI-Reference_Architecture.pdf</ref> , and it is used in the Open Grid Forum document on WS-Agreement <ref>Alain Andrieux, Karl Czajkowski, Asit Dan, Kate Keahey, Heiko Ludwig, Toshiyuki Nakata, Jim Pruyne, John Rofrano, Steve Tuecke, Ming Xu "Web Services Agreement Specification (WS-Agreement)", GFD-R-P.107, March 2007, Open Grid Forum.</ref>.
