Much of business continuity today can be automated. Production lines, supplies reordering, failovers in case of problems, management reports, many of these things now work on a \u201cset it and forget it\u201d basis.<\/p>\n

Other items still need manual intervention. A turbine making strange noises, accounts that don\u2019t tally, a delivery truck breakdown, somebody may have to figure out the problem from scratch. Between the two lies a third approach, that of the runbook (also known as \u201cplaybook\u201d or \u201ccookbook\u201d), a set of instructions on what to do in case a common or predictable problem occurs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you can automate cost-effectively, then automation is probably the way to go. With so much of business being driven by IT, the opportunities for automation are numerous.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if it takes too much effort to automate or if the problem is a corner case with a lower probability of happening, then writing a business continuity runbook may be more appropriate.<\/p>\n
