# ITDR Plan Development > Your disaster recovery plan is the playbook your team turns to when things go wrong. This module ensures that plan is built around reality, clean, accessible, and aligned to how your systems and people actually operate. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-plan-development* Fixinc works across technical, operational, and leadership teams to develop a tailored ITDR plan that is concise, layered, and prioritised. It includes roles and responsibilities, recovery objectives, system restoration flows, vendor coordination, and emergency communications, all mapped to your actual infrastructure and business tolerances. Fixinc builds plans designed to be opened in a crisis, simple to follow, hard to get wrong, and always grounded in your [Digital BIA](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/business-impact-analysis.md) data. Plans are also integrated with [F24 tools](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/f24.md) or client portal for accessibility during fast-moving events. ## Delivery Approach ITDR Plan Development follows Fixinc's four-step methodology: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed program 2. **Do**: ITDR Plan Development is rolled out smoothly at your organisation 3. **Check**: Your ITDR Plan Development is draft until validated, we will address that 4. **Act**: Your team and ours will be ready when your ITDR Plan Development is activated in real-life ## Engagement Process ### Initial Consultation - A link will be sent via email from the Advisory team with options to pick a convenient time for phone, Teams, Zoom, or in-person meeting - 30-45 minute discussion to understand objectives, answer questions, and explain how Fixinc delivers - Proposal and quote delivered within 24 hours detailing the scope of work - One week later, discussion of the proposal followed by a final quote for signing - If not signed within 5 weeks, Fixinc assumes timing is not suitable ### Delivery Phases **Review and Health Check**: All ITDR Plan Development engagements 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 appropriate involvement from your team, Fixinc builds out the ITDR Plan Development component of your ITDR program to the highest quality available. **Validate**: Where appropriate, testing and validation of your new ITDR Plan Development is conducted. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to stakeholders. **Maintain**: The primary setback for organisations embedding resilience is momentum. Fixinc builds a plan to ensure your ITDR Plan Development runs annually. ## Additional ITDR Disciplines Fixinc has selected the most impactful and relevant ITDR disciplines to ensure modern organisations can withstand and thrive through challenging threat landscapes: - [ITDR Component Testing](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-component-testing.md): Tests individual ITDR components from backup systems to restoration protocols - [Disaster Recovery Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/disaster-recovery-training.md): Trains leaders, operators, and support teams on ITDR and their role in it - [ITDR Test Exercise](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-test-exercise.md): Simulates real-world IT disaster to test team response and identify improvements - [ITDR System Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-system-analysis.md): Maps infrastructure, uncovers risks, and provides visibility during disruptions - [ITDR Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-training.md): Turns ITDR knowledge into team-wide capability - [Cyber Response Exercise](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/cyber-response-exercise.md): Simulates targeted cyber events in real time - [ITDR Business Impact Analysis Report](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-business-impact-analysis-report.md): Delivers structured reports from ITDR Business Impact Analysis - [IT Applications and Systems Mapping](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/it-applications-and-systems-mapping.md): Maps every application and system in your environment - [ITDR Plan Training for Technical Teams](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-plan-training-for-technical-teams.md): Trains IT and infrastructure teams on recovery plan execution - [ITDR Program Review and Audit](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-program-review-and-audit.md): Audits entire recovery capability including systems, people, and plans - [ITDR Business Impact Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-business-impact-analysis.md): Focuses IT recovery on what matters to your business - [ITDR Threat Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-threat-analysis.md): Analyses evolving threat landscape for disaster recovery planning ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do we know when our ITDR Plan Development activity is fully effective?** Success is validated through exercises, engagement, and outcomes.
