Teams often see inconsistent measurement and ad hoc prioritisation of network and application performance. That produces unclear responsibilities and uneven risk treatment. Differing metrics and fragmented reporting impede operational decisions and compliance oversight.
Quality of Service defines a documented governance framework that assigns responsibilities, approval authorities, service-level objectives and measurable metrics, and establishes reporting lines for operational and compliance review. Scope is limited to governance, policy, roles, SLOs, measurement, reporting and compliance; it excludes technical configuration, implementation execution, procurement decisions and unrelated business activities.
