A fallback cannot be invented when the project starts failing.

Digital project plans usually explain what the technology should do. Fewer establish how the business will continue if the technology fails—or what happens if the technology works but the data cannot be trusted.

The Digital Project Fallback Checklist is a concise, conversation-led planning tool for business analysts, project and programme managers, and digital delivery teams. It helps you involve the people who understand how the work actually happens, identify critical failure points and determine whether the proposed fallback could realistically be carried out.

Use the checklist to:

Distinguish between technology and data fallback needs
Identify critical moments in the business process
Define practical manual or alternative actions
Calculate the latest viable fallback decision
Confirm the people, time, knowledge and access required
Plan for missing, inaccurate or unreliable data
Record decision triggers, ownership and accepted exposure

The guide includes:

An early fallback readiness check
A technology fallback planner
A data fallback planner
A fallback decision record
Completed technology and data examples

This is not a technical recovery manual or a heavyweight project methodology. It is a practical visual guide designed to improve the conversations that need to happen early—before deadlines, dependencies and investment make the fallback difficult or impossible.

Because if the people cannot execute the fallback with the time and resources available, the fallback does not exist.
