How to Prepare an IT Service Inventory for a Business Continuity Exercise

A continuity exercise depends on accurate service dependencies and contacts, not only a list of server names.

Checks to make

Record business owners, technical owners, dependencies, vendors, recovery priorities, and alternate procedures. Validate the inventory with people who support each service and update it after the exercise reveals gaps.
