Part 3: Minimum Resources Required
Business Function (Col 2)
- Name of business function. Refer to the BIA questionaire for the original Business functions to be used in the Recovery Strategy section.
- State a name or identifier (of up to 3 words).
- Note (1): Usually, the number of business functions should average around 5 functions and should not be expected to exceed 15. “Nice to have”/”convenient business functions” should be omitted during the final submission in the Business Continuity Strategy phase. Minor business functions that could be accurately grouped into a single bigger function are strongly encouraged.
