The Overlooked Aspect of Business Continuity

Analysts, as a rule, are not involved in software failures — support services and developers take the hit. However, recent incidents and the growing interest in addressing non-functional requirements remind us of the concept of business continuity.

This concept has been around for a long time, and there are even several international institutions dealing with methodology in this area.

• What can we take from these developments? 
• Why has this concept been largely forgotten in Russia, remaining only in the regulations of the Central Bank? 
• Is business continuity equivalent to non-functional requirements? 
• Does it cover only information security? 
• What is the connection to business monitoring and end-to-end metrics, which you may have heard about before?

We will also discuss the case of CDEK Company (anyone who has experienced a production crash understands how challenging it was for them) and explore how this topic is evolving in global practice.
