The BEST way to build your Information Technology Disaster Recovery Plan
by Max2G
The goal of this presentation is to show you the BEST way to design, simulate and build an
IT Disaster Recovery Plan using a new, simple and efficient
modeling technique
Are you accountable for a
successful or unsuccessful IT Disaster Recovery operation ?
Do you know the risks you take
about not having an IT Disaster Recovery Plan ?
Does the whole organization feel really safe regarding
IT disaster recovery ?
Then building and testing an
IT Disaster Recovery Plan are a must !
Preparing
IT DRP is not an easy task !
You must know
What you want to achieve When to achieve it How to achieve it
Who will achieve it
For IT Disaster Recovery
This means that you have to know the dependancies between
Critical Business Services IT Critical Services IT Supporting services
4 steps to successModeling
the recovery activities and their
dependancies

Dependency diagram
Collection of goals and links
showing dependencies between goals
This is a model also called a Direct Acyclic Graph
By finding the dependancies, you determine everything that is
needed to resume IT operations.

The level of detail for this goal is sufficient.
However, if more detail is required, it can be exploded as needed. For example, Desk found and Desk
clean.
The level of detail in a model may vary according to the need.

Concept 5
Sequence diagram
Collection of goals and links
showing sequence of execution
All arrows have been simply reversed !
This is the model designed for a very simple DRP use case. It shows the
sequence of goals (or activities) to execute, starting from the
bottom to the top.
This activity will be triggered once the DRP is triggered.
Because this activity do not depend upon other
activities, it will trigger first during simulation. Therefore, it is a
« triggering » activity.
This activity will be triggered once the DRP is triggered.
This activity will be triggered once the computer
is received and once the desk is available.
This button will trigger simulation.
This shows the activities executed by
IT Support.
This is the list of roles to which activities can be
assigned.
This is the list of actors assigned to the
IT Support role.
This is the list of actors that can be assigned to roles.
Another type of resources is the
documents which can be referred by activities without
being shown on the model.
This shows the activities where a
reference to the document « Office Plan » is set.
2 Simulating
2 Simulating
Simulation is the set of activities that allows to verify and adjust the model
2 Simulating
Is the Model complete Goals, objects and states Dependencies Roles
Is the Sequence correct Is the Time to achieve correct Is the Total time to achieve lower than expected Are the Responsabilities correct Is the Workload spread correctly over roles
Simulation is the set of activities that allows to verify and adjust the model
These are the starting and
ending times of the activities.
This is the duration of time
required to execute the activity or to reach the goal.
This is the RECOVERY TIME
OBJECTIVE of each activity.
This is the object
concerned by the activity.
This is the state reach when
the activity is completed.
This is the actor who
execute the activity.
This is the role who
execute the activity.
This shows the results from the simulation of the model !
This shows statistics per activity, per actor and per role.

There are many critical success factors to
IT Disaster Recovery but there is one
that is more important than others !

The best way to verify your readiness
is to test the plans !
