# Establish recovery strategies

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 you see the details of a loss scenario associated to a plan, you can also view
the assets that are attached to the plan, and the recovery strategies for each of
these assets. 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]()).

   For more information, see [Identify loss scenarios and align them to a business continuity plan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BRSzleiIErtfr5JO3_wZBQ#loss-scenarios-align-with-bcp__rel-asset-dependencies).
8. To remove an asset from the plan, select the item and click Remove.  
   Note:

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/5FnrThHuPjuxf6~9TxvN6w#bcp-recovery-tasks-grid__create-rec-task).
