It was nice to have so many topics' details explained. The business impact analysis considerations are important to know. Wendi shows a good understanding of the important components in DR and BC planning.

In my opinion, the explanation regarding the section "IT Disaster Recovery Plan Template" took more time that it should have and it could have been explained in a more simpler manner

The course was informative with relevant examples and documents. The continuous play cuts off short of the individual items (missing the last conclusion section)
