Coordination is the process of planning and arranging BCM tasks into a proper order of relationship to achieve the defined outcomes. Coordination involves establishing the roles and responsibilities of the BCM team, the stakeholders, and the external parties, as well as defining the communication channels and protocols. Coordination also ensures that the BCM activities are aligned with the organizational objectives, policies, and procedures, and that the BCM resources are allocated and utilized efficiently and effectively. References: ISO 22301 Auditing eBook, page 281
