# Incident Management Scenario Exercise > Live scenario-based exercises designed to test incident response capabilities, team coordination, and leadership decision-making under simulated pressure conditions. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/disciplines/incident-management-scenario-exercise* Fixinc designs live incident scenarios tailored to your sector and structure. These exercises simulate time pressure, unclear information, and role challenges so your team can rehearse escalation, leadership coordination, and stakeholder management in real-time. The exercises do not just test capabilities, they teach. Delivery includes facilitation, injects, role-specific challenges, and post-exercise reports with actionable insights. The outcome is sharper response capability and a team that has experienced pressure before it becomes real. ## Delivery Approach The Incident Management Scenario Exercise follows a four-step methodology: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed program 2. **Do**: Incident Management Scenario Exercise is rolled out smoothly at your organisation 3. **Check**: Your Incident Management Scenario Exercise is draft until validated, this step addresses that requirement 4. **Act**: Your team and the Fixinc team will be ready when your Incident Management Scenario Exercise is activated in real-life situations ## Engagement Process ### Initial Consultation - A link will be sent via email from the Advisory team to schedule a convenient time for discussion over phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person - 30-45 minute consultation to discuss objectives, answer questions, and explain the delivery approach - Proposal delivered within 24 hours detailing the scope of work - Final quote provided after one-week discussion period - Proposals remain active for five weeks before being closed ### Delivery Phases **Review and Health Check** All Incident Management Scenario Exercise implementations start with a deep review of what is already in place. Benchmarks are set based on best practice and ISO standards. **Design and Develop** With involvement as necessary from your team, the Incident Management Scenario Exercise component of your Incident Management programme is built to the highest quality available. **Validate** Where appropriate, testing and validation of the new Incident Management Scenario Exercise discipline is conducted.
