Managing Your Business Continuity Planning Project (Second Edition)

This series of books aims to prepare your organisation to survive any unexpected crisis with expected results in continuing business operations. 

This book aims to help you kick off the BC project in your organisation. It starts by educating your Executive Management about the purpose, process, and importance of BCM.

It covers other essential steps, including research, developing a BC framework, establishing a project team, budgeting, and scheduling deadlines to ensure the BC project meets expectations.

Managing Your Business Continuity Planning Project

All too often, BCP projects begin with great expectations but end in disillusionment.

Cost overruns, missed deadlines, staffing problems, and an outdated BC plan even before the ink is dry are just a few of the pitfalls plaguing the unwary Organisation BCM Coordinator.

For the benefit of those responsible for managing BCP projects, this book will end with a review of the various obstacles that may be encountered during a typical BCP project and then review how an Organisation BCM Coordinator can overcome these obstacles and ensure that the BCP project meets expectations.

It should be emphasised, however, that this book is not just about BC planning; it centres on solid project management. While the information will be presented within a BC planning context, the problems and solutions discussed are not unique to Organisation BCM Coordinators. Regardless of its purpose, anyone responsible for managing a complex, multidisciplinary project may face similar difficulties and can employ similar solutions. 

The fundamental goal of the Project Management phase is to ensure that the Executive Management's expectations are met. These expectations are usually relatively straightforward. The Executive Management will undoubtedly expect three things.

The content of the book is to accomplish the following:

• Formulate a BCP project plan and proposal
• Seek endorsement and commitment on the project from the Executive Management on the Definition, Scope, Objectives, Assumptions and limitations
• Define roles and responsibilities
• Establish budget
• Develop a project work plan
• Establish a project management structure
• Implement a project reporting mechanism

It will help you to identify:

• Initiate and develop a BCP Project work plan
• Formulate a BCP project proposal
• Establish a project management structure
