Experience level agreements (XLAs) are all the rage. They've been at the crest of the hype-cycle for the last few years. Everyone is talking about them. Most ITSM practitioners now know what they are. Many know how to develop them. Some have implemented them. A few have realized genuine experience improvement from them.

However, one of the unfortunate truths – as with many new approaches and emerging methodologies – is that what they are not is far too often overlooked. This simple fact leads to poor design and implementation, which can result in perceived failure. And as the saying goes, “You only get one chance to make a first impression.” Join Doug Rabold for this exploration of the flip side of XLAs and discover how you can avoid the pitfalls that others have fallen into when designing and implementing XLAs.
