Business continuity
Keep critical operations moving through disruption.
Identify what must continue, what it depends on, how long it can be unavailable and what practical workarounds are needed.
Discuss ContinuityQuestions a continuity program should answer
Which operations can't stop, and how long can the rest wait?
What do those operations depend on: systems, vendors, people, facilities?
How does the work get done when the usual system is unavailable?
What gets restored first, and who decides?
What we develop
Business impact
Essential activities, the time each can tolerate being down and the impact of disruption.
Dependencies
The systems, vendors, people and facilities each critical operation relies on.
Continuity strategies
Priorities, alternate procedures and workarounds your team can actually carry out.
Recovery priorities
The order of restoration and the owners responsible for it.
Then find out whether it works.
A continuity plan is the starting point. Exercising it is how you learn whether people can use it.
Plan→Exercise→Evaluate→Improve→Retest
