Service catalog
Service level management must ensure that a service catalog is produced, maintained and contains accurate information on all operational services and those ready for deployment. A service catalog is a written statement of all current and available IT services, default levels and options.
SLA (Service Level Agreement)

OLA (Operational Level Agreement)
• A written agreement with another internal IT department to support the SLA.
UC (Underpinning Contract)
• A written agreement with an external IT supplier.
SQP (Service Quality Plan) – not specifically an SLM term, but strategically linked
• This plan underlies the service strategy, detailing the internal targets to be achieved within an agreed period, typically one to two years, to improve agreed service levels and the business perception of service quality
