CHAPTER 28

Operational Procedures

In this chapter, you will learn how to

• Compare best practices associated with types of documentation

• Implement basic change management properly

• Implement basic disaster prevention and recovery

The term operational procedures encompasses a lot for any organization,

from best practices for safety (Chapter 1, “Safety and Professionalism”) to

dealing with environmental factors (Chapter 27, “Securing Computers”);

from company polices for handling prohibited content or activities (also

Chapter 27) to proper communication techniques and professionalism all

techs should employ (again, Chapter 1). The CompTIA A+ 1002 exam even

throws in basics of scripting (Chapter 15, “Working with the Command-Line

Interface”) and remote access technologies (Chapter 21, “The Internet”)

(though those feel like a reach to me).

This chapter explores another aspect of operational procedures, namely

business practices that enable continuity, a fancy way of saying that an

organization should keep working more or less the same in the face of both

mundane day-to-day change and sudden disasters. We’ll focus here on three

categories of business continuity and operational procedures: documentation,

change management, and disaster prevention and recovery.
