##### Training-led Implementation Series
# \[ITL\] \[1A\] \[PM\] BCM Training-led Implementation: Starting the Project
This series is part one \[1\] of the reading for organisational representatives \[or BCM project team leaders and members\] designated to embark on a BCM implementation or responsible for updating the BCM program.
The organisation can use this approach to update, develop, implement and finalize its BCM program for an organisation.
This is the start of the project for a typical organisation. This phase of the planning methodology is the Project Management or PM phase.

### Starting the Project
[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/0c56b5a3-a2ae-42f0-b457-dd9ec8214eb0)This series is part of the reading for participants embarking on a BCM implementation using a combination of training supported by experienced BCM professionals to develop, implement and finalize its BCM program for an organisation.
Certain information is required to initiate a working framework for the engagement as part of the overall BCM project.
[](http://www.gmhasia.com/)We must highlight that any additional work that is not training-related will be implemented by BCM Institute's associated partners, such as [GMH Continuity Architects](http://www.gmhasia.com/)and other consulting partners. However, the current delivery approach is sufficient to develop and finalize your BC plan.
A working framework, including the standard project management features, is developed before the project starts with your organisation.
###### **1. Engagement Letter**
- A letter of acceptance to BCM Institute or purchase order from your organisation to confirm the project and training.
###### 2. Participant List
- Provide a participant representing the various business units
- Document the department the participant belongs to, his or her job role and designation, the name of his or her reporting manager, and his/her contact details.
###### 3. Organisation Structure
- Provide a structure of the organisation showing the business units and sub-units and if available, the acronyms for these units.
- Provide any information on the makeup of existing crisis management and emergency response teams.
###### 4. Schedule for Project Tasks
- Develop and agree on the schedule for project tasks, including workshops, template submissions, consultation and presentations.
- Note that all participants must attend the workshops and finalise their submissions after the first review by the BCM workshop facilitator.
###### 5. Related Organisational Policy and Framework
- Make any company policy and/or framework related to risk management available to the workshop facilitator, who will ensure that any new policies and procedures to be developed during the project will align with these existing ones.
6. Competent Organisation BCM Coordinator
[![\[BL-B-5\] What is a BCM-5000 Blended Learning Course?](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/bee690e0-6d91-4249-b41d-d9bc40e21142.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/bee690e0-6d91-4249-b41d-d9bc40e21142)
- [](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/0640d98f-f2d5-4673-92db-0b63a6119e79)It is highly recommended that the designated project manager or the [Organisation BCM Coordinator](https://www.bcmpedia.org/wiki/Organization_BCM_Coordinator) be competent before the BCM project and subsequently in maintaining the BCM program.
- It is recommended that the designated Organisation's BCM Coordinator attend the BCM-5000 ISO22301 BCMS Expert Implementer course. *Click the right icon to view more of the course*.
#### Stage Deliverable
[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/89c420fe-3fb5-44bc-82d4-826e90f367c4)The result of this Startup phase (Project Management Phase) would be a project plan with clear objectives, schedules and deliverables, as well as defined roles and responsibilities for the project manager, participants and the consultant.
A kick-off meeting should then be arranged to brief Management on the project plan and its implementation.
Now that the BCM project has been initiated, it is time to "Develop BCM Structure and Framework." *Click the icon below to read more.*

Once the project initiation or the setup of this project to update your BCM program is completed, we will follow procedures to execute the BCM-310 (RAR and BIA); BCM-320 (BCS and PD) and BCM-330 (TE).
