Risk Management Disaster Recovery Business Continuity Definitions. Introduction V1. As promised in Notes. On  Risk Management Disaster Recovery Business Continuity Essentials this is the next post in the series to address DR and BC. Its purpose is to define the key terminology used in the business of DR and BC so we are all on the same page. Why  Well, Socrates allegedly said If you would speak with me you must define your terms. Others have attributed this to Voltaire. But.   Whomever first said it, they were absolutely, critically correct. To know anything at all about DR and BC you must first know and fully comprehend these terms as an absolute bare minimum. Background For quite a number of years Ive been doing Disaster Recovery DR as part and parcel of my various IT roles sometimes specializing in it, sometimes not and that experience has repeatedly bled over into Business Continuity. One of the most difficult aspects of both subjects that Ive run into after the primary issue of convincing the powers that be that their DR Angels are not likely to be looking over their shoulders unless they actively do something to help stave off the effects of disasters is locating Standards and Best Practices that guide both DR and BC. Neither subject is of any value to the global Business community if any person can define terms however they wish, set any metrics against measuring success or failure they care to. This particular post is focused on the first element, The Terms. Before venturing into Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity you must comprehend these, at a gut level. You must know these terms cold before taking on either subject, in any way, from any role. Preparatrio PMP Autor Ronaldo de Jesus uma das poucas referncias nacionais atualizadas para o PMBOK 5.

Este curso prepara o candidato para os exames de certificao oficiais do PMI CAPM Certified Associate in Project Management e PMP Project. As a PMP Project Management Professional certified project manager, I frequently get asked a question that all PMPs have asked themselves at some point during their. Fundamental Definitions First, you should know that these definitions are ones Ive developed and polished over quite a few years of  practical, hard won, in the trenches, experience. You wont find them so defined in any dictionary. You may well run across similarly worded ones on other sites and in various books I fully acknowledge that I have learned the subject by learning from others, as well as by doing, but I have tried to hone, and continue to hone these definitions for maximum clarity, crafting diagrams as appropriate to assist  in the learning process. Second, these are not in an alphabetical listing, I have put them in a building block sequence for faster learning so my recommendation is that you read them in the order they are in, at least the first time through. Finally, feel free to challenge me on any of these definitions via my website. I am still learning, and hopefully always will be, and so I am more than willing to have the errors of my ways pointed out. Special Note ifwhen I update these definitions or the included diagrams, and when I add links from  definitions to an upcoming, detail level, post, I will update the version number in the Introduction header above so check back from time to time for the latest edition. Ready Here we go BC versus DR Diagram Im borrowing a diagram from Notes. Sniper Elite Lan Patch. On Risk Management Disaster Recovery versus Business Continuity so that you have it to hand while studying the following definitions Click on image to enlarge. Business Continuity Planning BCP The art and science of evaluating a business from end to end, top to bottom, bottom to top, to determine how best to ensure that a businesss key business units and critical processes and procedures are able to continue, successfully, in the aftermath of a disaster of any significant magnitude. The end game of BC Planning is to, at least, maintain an operational relationship with and provide essential, mission critical, services for both existing, and new, customers. To put it another way, BC Planning is the process of identifying, prioritizing, designing and implementing business processes that temporarily replace failed typically automated business processes for an extended period of time during or post a significant business interruption of some form. BC Planning anticipates the potential loss of and therefore includes identification and pre arrangements for acquisition of all facilities and services necessary to safely, securely house and support the business units in a new or alternate location until a return to normal, or new normal, operations is obtained. It also plans for alternate communication methods and strategies to keep both BU personnel and appropriate public and public agencies well informed. At a detail level, the BC team deals with the resourcing of pens, pencils, notebooks, copiers, printers and the like, but it also ensures business unit members have a wall with appropriate connections embedded in it to plug equipment into, and an appropriately configured laptop or desktop to plug into that walls connections. You may choose to disagree that the BCP is also accountable for computer stuff in an emergency but it has been my observation that more often than not the BUs are already responsible for their PC, Laptop and PDA budgets during normal operations typically through a third party provider. IT creates the images to be burned onto them but the contractual obligation for personal use equipment normally belongs with the BU. If this is not the case for your BU then IT becomes directly involved in that part, and only that part, of the BCP. To put a point on it  BC Planning is focused on the business units, all of their critical processes and everything non DRP related that supports those processes. Editorial Comment though it may be obvious to everyone outside your business that a disaster has occurred to your business, if you manage your communications with your customers well, and depending on how your entire organization otherwise handles itself, you need not lose them to competitors during your DR situation. Well executed BCPs and DRPs will help ensure you dont. Business Continuity Plan BCP The first substantial result of Business Continuity Planning, a BC Plan is a completed and tested living document that provides the organizational unit for which it is written a guide on how to properly respond to a disaster situation or business interruption event if you prefer. Such a document is normally tied into an organization wide emergency response system a. EOC ICS organizational structure but can and should be able to stand on its own. A BCP document can have different styles but in the end it must only contain information and strategies vital to maintaining critical processes and procedures during and after an emergency i. Well get into examples of the content of a BCP and the EOC ICS organizational structure and procedures in future Notes. On posts. Note  though they arent often considered to be in need of one, it is entirely conceivable that a manual process and procedure may require a BC Plan as well so dont overlook this possibility. While almost everything is, in some businesses it is 9. IT based.
