This lesson develops practical capability in Impact Categories, Time Horizons, MTPD, RTO, RPO, and Prioritization within ISO/TS 22317 Introduction. Activities reflect a business continuity team preparing its first consistent BIA across services, processes, technology, people, facilities, and suppliers, keeping responsibilities, decisions, evidence, exceptions, and improvement actions connected.
The work contributes to the wider course objective to understand business impact analysis purpose, governance, impact criteria, recovery priorities, dependencies, and documented outputs.
The instructor traces a realistic case involving a business continuity team preparing its first consistent BIA across services, processes, technology, people, facilities, and suppliers. The demonstration shows how to define scope and criteria, collect evidence, record decisions in impact and recovery-priority register, and challenge the condition where mtpd operates differently from the approved method.
Complete a controlled exercise for Impact Categories, Time Horizons, MTPD, RTO, RPO, and Prioritization. Establish responsibilities and acceptance criteria, examine the case where mtpd operates differently from the approved method, reach a supported conclusion, and preserve the result in impact and recovery-priority register.
Begin with the earliest point where expected practice and observed evidence diverge. Separate a missing record from an ineffective process, and distinguish role ambiguity from a control or competence failure. Treat “mtpd operates differently from the approved method” as a hypothesis until the response is tested against the applicable criteria and intended outcome.
Learners can apply Impact Categories, Time Horizons, MTPD, RTO, RPO, and Prioritization, explain the reasoning used, and defend the result through impact and recovery-priority register.
