| For most organizations, disaster recovery is too often an afterthought of the project planning process. If it is addressed at all, disaster recovery is typically dealt with during the middle of a project or toward its end. We used participant observation and a case study approach within a Fortune 500 company in the airline industry to examine the integration of a disaster recovery methodology and its core principles. We detail the integration process throughout the Project Management Life Cycle and Systems Development Life Cycle, describing the challenges along the way. Based on our experience in observing systems development for an airline, we enumerate the benefits of disaster recovery integration into the Project Management Life Cycle. |
