Creating and Managing a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) in Battleground

The objective of this SOP is to guide you through the process of creating and managing a new Business Impact Analysis (BIA) in Battleground effectively.

Key Steps:

A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) in Battleground helps you identify and document the potential effects of disruptions on business operations. Use this guide to create, manage, delete, and archive BIAs within the platform.

  1. Accessing BIAs:
    • Log in to Battleground.
    • Click on "BIA" on the left panel.
    • Select "New/All BIAs" to view the list of existing BIAs or use the search bar for quick access.
  2. Deleting or Archiving a BIA:
    • To delete a BIA, click on the grey circle next to the BIA title.
    • A confirmation window will appear, click "Delete" to confirm.
    • Alternatively, you can archive the BIA (to retain it without it appearing in active lists) or export it to an Excel file for offline use. To archive, click the options menu next to the BIA title and select Archive.
  3. Adding a New BIA:
    • Click on the green "+" new BIA button in the top right corner.
    • Enter the relevant details such as title, BIA owner (existing user), geography, business unit, and department.
    • Save and close the information entered.
  4. Completing Required Fields:
    • The only required field is the Title. All other fields — BIA owner, geography, business unit, and department — are optional but recommended for accurate reporting.

Cautionary Notes

  • Be cautious when deleting a BIA as this action is irreversible.
  • Double-check all entered information to avoid inaccuracies in the BIA details.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Utilise the search bar to quickly locate specific BIAs.
  • Regularly update and review BIAs to ensure accuracy and relevance.
  • Familiarize yourself with how to add new users, geographies, business units, and departments before creating BIAs, as these are needed to populate the BIA owner and organizational fields.

Following these steps allows you to create, manage, archive, and delete Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) in Battleground. For further assistance, contact your system administrator or refer to related Battleground help articles.
