Step 12: Build and Maintain Teamwork

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.

Strong communication is one of the strategies to build a winning team and should be implemented whenever possible.
