Writing a business continuity plan for software development

A software development business continuity plan needs to describe the actual work. In the example used here, the team is carrying out the customer portal release and producing the release and acceptance pack. The document makes the intended outcome and the people responsible visible before the work moves to its next stage.

The workflow includes requirements refinement, code review, release approval. These steps create different information needs: the product owner needs enough detail to coordinate the work, while the engineering lead needs a clear basis for review. The editable sections let you record those responsibilities without starting from an empty page.
