# Establish recovery strategies

# Establish recovery strategies for asset dependencies {#ariaid-title1}

Use the Loss Scenarios tab to add asset dependencies and
identify recovery strategies to deal with various loss scenarios. A plan, complete with
recovery strategies for the identified loss scenarios, helps to address gaps that
exist.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_bcm.program_manager or sn_bcm.planner

## About this task

As a program manager, you can check if there are recovery strategies for various loss
scenarios of the plans owned by the planners. Such assessments enable you to be
prepared for those scenarios.

When viewing a loss scenario associated with a plan, you can also view the plan's assets and their recovery strategies. For example, NYC datacenter can be a related asset for a datacenter outage loss scenario of a customer
support plan. You can create a recovery strategy by estimating the time to implement the strategy to get the NYC datacenter up and running.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to Business ContinuityBusiness Continuity Workspace.
2. Click the lists icon (![Lists icon]()).
3. Click the In Draft state in the Planning list.
4. Click the link to the plan record in the Name column.
5. Click the Loss Scenarios tab of the plan.

7. To add a related asset to the existing list of assets that can be impacted and dependent on the plan loss scenario, click the Related Asset Dependencies tab.  
   For more information, see [Identify loss scenarios and align them to a business continuity plan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tv1V0gY7Vh~YU4sJ7kykeA#loss-scenarios-align-with-bcp__rel-asset-dependencies).
8. To remove an asset from the plan, select the item and click Remove.  
   Note:  
   You can add or remove an asset, dependent on the plan, only if you are a program manager or owner of the plan.
9. To establish a strategy and recover a critical asset, click the Recovery Strategies tab.
   1. Click the New button.
   2. Enter a name and description for the recovery strategy and determine the implementation details to recover the asset.
   3. Click Save.

10. To add a recovery task to the recovery strategy of a plan's loss scenario, click the Recovery Tasks tab.  
    You can create a recovery task at the recovery strategy level and also at the
    plan level. See: [Create, update, and group recovery tasks](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KUN7pmjHvW1dA8g2YlI2~Q#bcp-recovery-tasks-grid__create-rec-task).
