Business continuity planning template
Connect critical services, recovery targets, dependent runbooks, exercise evidence and readiness review in one continuity planning app.
What is this business continuity template?
Continuum connects recovery plans to a critical-service directory with recovery time objectives. Each plan records its recovery point objective, scope, owner and next exercise date. Build dependent recovery steps, run an exercise and capture evidence for each step. The observed recovery duration and data loss determine whether the exercise meets its targets. Readiness approval requires a passing exercise of the current plan. A plan revision returns it to Draft and requires a new exercise and review.

- Continuity plans
Create and find records
Create a plan with an accountable owner, scope and recovery point objective.
- Runbook & exercise

- Critical services
Maintain the shared context
Maintain critical-service ownership, impact and recovery time objectives.
What does the template cover?
Critical-service readiness matrix
Review plan status, RTO/RPO targets, verified runbook steps and the latest recorded exercise outcome. Failed exercises remain visible alongside recovery gaps.
Recovery targets and dependent runbooks
Define critical-service impact, dependencies and recovery time objectives. Link a recovery plan with its owner, scope, recovery point objective and next exercise date.
Evidence-based exercises
Start an exercise with fresh step evidence. Verify prerequisites before dependent steps, then record observed recovery duration and data-loss minutes against the targets.
Readiness review and plan revision
Approve readiness only after a passing current-plan exercise. Changes to scope or RPO return the plan to Draft; revising prerequisite work resets dependent verification.
ToolJet Database with sample data
The pilot uses 2 tables with fictional records. No external database is needed to explore the source app.
| Table | Sample data | What it stores |
|---|---|---|
| Critical services | 4 sample directory entries | Fictional critical service records providing ownership and planning context. |
| Continuity plans | 4 sample records | Fictional recovery plan records with linked work items, decisions and activity history. |
English desktop planning pilot, bounded to 1,000 rows per table. Recovery targets, exercise outcomes and reviewer names are manually recorded. No live infrastructure monitoring, failover execution, backup verification, external notifications or regulatory certification. Dependencies apply to steps within a plan; cross-service dependency graphs and automated impact analysis require customization.
Make it yours with AI.
This design is a starting point. Describe the look you want, add your logo and brand colors, or ask for new features in a prompt. Use the starter prompt to build your own version in the ToolJet AI builder, or use a suggested prompt to modify an app you already have. Review and test the result.
Suggested prompts describe changes you can request. Additional features and translations still need to be built and tested.

Template FAQs
How does Continuum decide whether an exercise passes?
All runbook steps need verification evidence. Recorded recovery duration must meet the service RTO, and recorded data loss must meet the plan RPO.
Can a failed exercise be approved as ready?
No. Readiness approval requires a passing exercise of the current plan revision. Revise and rerun the plan before review.
Does the app execute failover or restore backups?
No. It coordinates plans and records exercise evidence. Recovery execution, backup verification and live monitoring are not included.
What happens after the recovery plan changes?
The plan returns to Draft, current step verification is reset, and a new exercise and readiness review are required.
Can I change the design, branding or features with AI?
Yes. Use the starter prompt as a starting point, or describe changes to an app in the ToolJet AI builder. Ask for your branding, a different layout or extra workflow features, then review and test the generated changes.
