Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The needs assessment provides information on workflow and desired features. Comparison against budget constraints and data security concerns help to identify the best options available for the scope of the project. All hardware must be accounted for so that efficient use is enhanced; these decisions must be made in advance. Unauthorized hardware may not connect properly, and should be discouraged.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Feedback collected after disasters (or mock disasters) is key to the design and implementation of a better continuity plan for use in future disasters. The feedback should be used to identify what worked and what did not. Plans that looked good before a disaster may not look so good after one.
