Determine the plan scope is the first activity to perform when preparing a business continuity and disaster recovery plan.

Determining the plan scope establishes which business units systems processes and locations will be included and it sets the objectives priorities and boundaries for the planning effort. With the scope defined you can identify which functions are critical set recovery time objectives and focus the business impact analysis on the right areas rather than trying to analyze everything at once.

Conduct a business impact analysis is an essential step but it normally follows scope definition because the BIA must be targeted to the systems and functions that fall inside the agreed scope.

Collect stakeholder requirements is important and it often happens early in the project but gathering requirements is usually done as part of or immediately after scoping because you need the scope to know which stakeholders to engage and what information to collect.

Develop test and recovery procedures is a later activity that comes after you have defined scope completed the BIA and drafted the plan. Procedures are created and refined once priorities recovery objectives and resources are known.
