BCMS implementation

Good day, busy with an internal organizational project to implement proper BCMS but are in need of industry experts to assist. Thus, doing a BID Specification document but seeing my first time dealing with such project not sure how to allocate time to activities for a project that could stretch over 2 year period. Will need expert BCM Programme Manager, BCM Expert Implementer and ICT DR Expert Implementer and need to ensure their time is allocated according to activities of such a project.

Can you perhaps give me some guidance on how to determine time (hours per day or week) for all activities relating to these areas of responsibility?
I can not find examples even within my organization so thinking surely there must be examples of a project schedule out there relating to implementing a BCMS with the use of the said expert's activities and allocated timelines?

Answer:

When you consider all the steps as a whole, you can roughly consider that the steps before the business impact analysis and risk management will take you cca 10% of the ti me, business impact analysis and risk assessment cca 30% of the time, implementation of continuity strategies, writing of BC plans, and security controls cca 50% of the time, and final activities (internal audit, management review, corrective actions) cca 10% of the time.

I recommend you to look at our Project checklist for ISO 22301 implementation (https://info.advisera.com/27001academy/free-download/project-checklist-for-iso-22301-implementation) which can give you some ideas about tasks required in a ISO 22301 implementation project.

To get an estimated duration of the whole project you can use our Duration calculator at this link: https://advisera.com/27001academy/free-tools/free-calculator-duration-of-iso-27001-iso-22301-implementation/
