Benefit of perfoming BIA for a single department

Could you please tell me the benefit of performing BIA for single department using documentation template? I'm trying to perform BIA for all department but some area cannot be covered in the new sheet.

You should perform BIA for each of your activities/departments separately, because very likely different activities will have different MAO (Maximum Acceptable Outage)/RTO (Recovery Time Objective), and different resources. Therefore, by merging them all into one single BIA won't give precise results.

One doubt is , RTO is only for application or for process.

RTO could be set for either of them, but usually it is set for the whole activity (i.e. process or a department).
