<SPAN class=postbody>Hi, <BR><BR>I found the following quesiton on freepracticetests.org and am confused about the answer. <BR><BR><BR>Which of the following should be emphasized during the business impact analysis (BIA) considering that the BIA focus is on business processes? <BR><BR>composition <BR>priorities <BR>dependencies <BR>service levels <BR><BR><BR>The correct answer is "dependencies" with the following explanation. <BR><BR>In performing the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) it is very important to consider what the dependencies are. You cannot bring a system if it depends on another system to be operational. You need to look at not only internal dependencies but external as well. You might not be able to get the raw materials for your business so dependencies are very important aspect of a BIA. <BR><BR>My thoughts are as following: The BIA phase helps the organization identify the business processes and MTD for each. Based on the MTD, and financial impact a priority is defined and then further analysis is done to ensure this process is part of the BCP plan. Shouldnt priority be the answer? After the critical process is identified, this is when we will ensure all dependiencies are taken care of.</SPAN><BR><BR>
