GAO, Year 2000 Computing Crisis: Business Continuity and Contingency Planning (GAO/AIMD-10.1.19) (Aug. 1998) (full-text).
Overview[]
This guide provided a conceptual framework for helping large federal agencies to manage the risk of potential Year 2000-induced disruptions to their operations. It provided information on the scope and challenge and offers a structured approach for reviewing the adequacy of agency Year 2000 business continuity and contingency planning efforts.
The guide built upon a previously issued GAO Year 2000 assessment guide,[1]
The guide addressed four phases supported by program and project management activities:
- Initiation
- Business impact analysis
- Contingency planning, and
- Testing.
In addition to program and project management, the four phases are united by a common theme of accountability at all levels.
