What kinds of technical backup scenarios does your organization need? Start by thinking about what can go wrong. Some obvious possibilities include:
- Missed deliveries of national programs;
- Local equipment failure;
- Local building evacuation; and
- Failure of the ContentDepot, either at a national or local level.
Each scenario should:
- Describe the problem situation; and
- Suggest at least one solution that prevents the outage or restores service.
When you provide more than one possible solution, make a recommendation about which one looks like the best choice.
TIP: In developing scenarios, refer to roles (e.g. Engineer, Board Operator, Station Manager), not people. Naturally, you will need to review your plan regularly, to make sure it's still current, but you can minimize the need for updates!
