Plan Development

eBRP Suite TOOLKIT’s Plan Development feature provides a comprehensive set of tools to create and maintain all types of Continuity and Response plans. Designed to enhance enterprise resiliency, it enables organizations to prepare for operational disruptions that could adversely impact service delivery and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). By integrating planning, plan development, testing, and validation, it ensures thorough preparedness.

Plan Types

eBRP Suite TOOLKIT supports the development of various plan types to address diverse operational challenges. These include Response Plans for immediate threats, Continuity Plans (BCP) to maintain or resume services, IT Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) to restore IT systems, Crisis Management Plans (CMP) for stakeholder communication and crisis collaboration, and specialized plans like Supply Continuity, Pandemic Response, Cyber Security Incident Response, and Storm Preparedness.

Plan Components

Plan Components are designed for flexibility and detail. Plans consist of one or more Plan Tasks outlining actions to achieve specific outcomes, executed sequentially or in parallel, with rich text formatting support. Features include Checklists for streamlined execution by experienced responders, Attachments for supporting documents of any file type and size, Plan Maintenance with review scheduling and approval workflows, and Exercise Scheduling with outcome reporting for continuous improvement.

Plan Templates

The Plan Templates feature streamlines the plan development process by allowing organizations to replicate existing plans or templates. These can be localized by defining relevant scopes, assigning ownership to local teams, and enhancing with supporting documents. This enterprise scalability feature enables consistent and efficient plan creation across the organization, facilitating rapid deployment and customization to meet specific needs.

Actionable Plans

Actionable Plans allow for detailed sequencing and dependency mapping of Plan Tasks. Planners can define critical paths, assign task durations, and establish upstream-downstream dependencies, resulting in predictable Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) visualized through GANTT charts. This provides granular task-level control during plan activation. Additionally, planners can inter-link plans to create dependencies between them, enhancing coordination and execution efficiency.

Scenarios

The Scenarios feature enables planners to activate multiple plans simultaneously, ideal for both exercises and real crises. By adding any number of plans and the teams responsible into a single scenario, organizations can coordinate complex responses efficiently. Activating a scenario alerts all included teams and initiates the relevant plans, facilitating realistic and scalable exercise planning, and improving readiness for actual events.

eBRP Suite TOOLKIT’s Plan Development features empower organizations to build comprehensive, actionable, and scalable continuity and response plans. By offering diverse plan types, flexible components, templates, actionable sequencing, and scenario planning, it enhances enterprise resiliency, ensures efficient crisis management, and minimizes impacts on service delivery and SLAs.
