ABSTRACT

Project management (PM) is the primary keystone for business continuity (BC) and business preparedness (BP). Without applying PM concepts, tools, and techniques, achieving resiliency, if it becomes a reality, will be far more costly and ineffective than with PM. If a company has money and time, and they often go hand in hand, to burn, then go ahead and conduct a BC project without PM. The odds, however, to achieve success are not in your favor simply because you have no idea of what success looks like; however, you will certainly know what failure looks like.
