This document is now at writing status. The outline for the first major section is included ready for people to edit in content. The remainder of the outline is being worked through in the discussion thread Document Development Thread - VI3 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Workshop.

 

Introduction

 

 

The BCDR workshop covers all resilience and recovery features of VI3 to build on the VI3 Requirements Specification by working out which features will be in-scope / out-of-scope, and for those in-scope items, what is required of them and how they integrate into the organization's BCDR processes, teams and tools.

 

The outcome of this workshop is a list of design decisions and constraints to be worked into the Service Design Document.
