Managing Crisis Recovery Steps
To manage recovery steps planned within the framework of a crisis:
1. See Accessing crises.
2. In the properties of a crisis, select the Recovery steps page.
3. If there are several BCPs, use the drop-down list to switch from one to another.
The BCPs found in this page are instances of the original BCP.You may modify these BCPs to adapt to the crisis, for example through the addition of recovery steps (see Managing Crisis Recovery Steps). This enables you to manage the life cycle of a crisis.
Modifying and adding recovery steps
All the recovery steps included in the original BCP appear in the corresponding section.
You can also add recovery steps. These steps are called “BCP step execution”.
You can specify:
• The Status:
• To be started
• Ongoing
• Completed
Switching from a status value to another automatically fills the Start date and End date fields.
The Execution time is automatically computed.• the Responsible User
• a comment about the progression of the recovery step in the Results column.
The In original BCP? column indicates whether the recovery step is part of the initial BCP.If you add a recovery step within the framework of the crisis, the corresponding value here is “No”.
Modifying the order of recovery steps
To modify the order of recovery steps:
1. Select the Tested Plans page of a business continuity exercise.
2. In the Recovery Steps section, click the Reorganize button.
You may modify the order through a drag-and-drop in the window that appears or choose the alphabetical order.
