Course Description
This 4-hour course introduces Experience, what it is, and why it matters. In class we use interactive exercises to nail down the concept of Experience Level Agreements (XLAs), setting learners on a solid path beyond ITIL, SLAs, and KPIs into a new perspective on service delivery and performance. Learners will acquire a practical understanding of the anatomy of an XLA and how it relates to the flow of work in an organization.
“The Essence of Experience course is by far one of the most valuable content I’ve consumed in the last few years. The course is engaging and the impact for our company is immeasurable.”
