Continuity Corner #8

Project Management

A couple of important things to remember when you start a business continuity plan project are:

• Put a structure in place to successfully execute the remaining phases
• Define the scope and high level objectives
• Define the assumptions to be used
• Establish
  • An Organization –  you can’t do it alone
  • A Budget
  • A Timeline
• But, most importantly…..
  • Review what the organization already has
  • Look for IT plans, existing insurance policies, ect.
  • Ask if there is a corporate risk assessment or risk mitigation strategy already available
