Why each option
During a crisis requiring a rapid shift to remote work, ensuring the organization's infrastructure can handle the increased load from many simultaneous remote connections is critical.
Customer notification plans are important for crisis communication but are secondary to the operational ability to sustain work during the transition.
Transitioning a majority of employees to remote work during a crisis places immediate and significant demands on network bandwidth, VPN infrastructure, and server resources, making capacity management the most critical immediate review area.
Access management is crucial for security but is part of the ongoing operational security considerations, while capacity management addresses the immediate viability of the remote work setup.
Impacts on IT project delivery are longer-term strategic concerns, whereas the immediate need is to ensure employees can actually work remotely during the crisis.
