When your BCP is
written, it is not finished.
-
Before it is adopted it must be tested to ensure it
works.
-
After it is adopted and your staff trained, it must be tested to:
-
Ensure that the training is successful.
-
Improve individual and organizational performance, especially in
coordination and communication.
-
Reveal weaknesses and gaps in the plan.
