Explanation

The standard BIA steps include: selecting individuals to interview, creating data-gathering techniques, identifying critical business functions, calculating the risk for each function, identifying recovery time objectives, documenting findings, and presenting results to management. Notifying senior management of the start of the assessment is not one of the defined procedural steps of the BIA itself - management involvement is a prerequisite/governance activity, not a BIA step.
