An SLA is a service level agreement. Which describes the 'watermelon SLA' effect?

  • A. A single SLA defines target service levels for multiple customers, so every customer sees reports about other customers' experiences
  • B. The metrics in an SLA are focused on internal measures, so that reports show everything is good, while the customer is not satisfied
  • C. SLA targets change very frequently, so that each report includes new measures and trends cannot be analyzed
  • D. Introducing SLAs for a service enables customers to see that the service provider is doing a really good job, so this improves satisfaction

The watermelon SLA effect means that metrics look green in the outside, but in fact are red in the inside. It happens when a service provider misses out business functionalities and outcomes that are important for the customer

Selected Answer: B
The 'watermelon SLA' effect occurs when the SLA metrics focus on internal performance measures (like uptime or resolution times) that appear green (successful) in reports, but the customer's actual experience and satisfaction (the "inside" of the watermelon) is poor (red). This highlights a disconnect between internal measures and customer-perceived value.
