Step 10: Obtain Commitment and Approval

The Organization DR Coordinator should insist and ensure that a formal approval for the DR Planning project is obtained.

The IT DR Plan development process is a fundamental and essential step in establishing a comprehensive and extensive set of documentation on the complete business reaction, recovery and resumption procedures to counter any disaster events. 

These events may either impact the business slightly or render a standstill to the business operation in its current operation environment

As part of the approval, the Organization DR Coordinator will need to prepare a written DR Planning project proposal (or charter), including estimated costs and staffing requirements, and request that it be signed by the Executive Management in all affected areas. It is imperative not to rely upon verbal approval alone.
