Coverage
Map exercises to priority activities, locations, suppliers and technology dependencies.
Depth
Use a mix of discussion exercises, functional tests and technical recovery validation.
Cadence
High-change or high-priority areas may need more frequent testing than stable low-priority activities.
Follow-through
Open actions from exercises should be tracked to closure and influence future exercise design.
Business continuity is organization-specific. Recovery priorities, legal duties, safety requirements, contracts, insurance terms and technical recovery methods should be validated by the responsible people in the organization.
