The CBCI 7.0 course advises that when establishing a BCMS, an initial focused scope limited to high-value or critical parts of the organization is practical to manage complexity and costs effectively. This allows targeted efforts on areas that pose the greatest risks or have the most significant impact on continuity. Over time, the scope can be expanded as maturity develops. Including everything initially or focusing only on IT disaster recovery limits effectiveness or overcomplicates early efforts, respectively. Crisis management is part of BCMS but not the sole focus of the initial scope.
