What does your project need?
Ownership and access
Record the account owner, administrator and recovery contact. Keep passwords and keys in an appropriate secret store, not in this worksheet.
Recovery and retention
For backups, define the data-loss window and retention period. Check physical and account separation from the source, then restore a sample before relying on the copy.
Changes and renewals
Keep current configuration and renewal details. Review the plan when the data, software or people responsible for the service change.
Planning
Access, backups and handover
Confirm the current product specifications and service responsibilities. Record who can approve a change and how to recover the service if it goes wrong.
