SLA breach root-cause review template
Overview
Breaches without learning repeat—blameless postmortem within 5 business days.
Sections
Timeline, vendor contributions, staffing gaps, tooling failures, client-caused delays (still politely), corrective actions with owners.
Distinction
Near-miss reviews optional but powerful when backlog nearly breached.
Tracking
Action items in same project until closed; escalate if ageing >30 days.
Reporting
Include breach rate trend in QBR—not hide under rug.
