Features

Exercise Manager supports the full range of preparedness activities — business continuity, disaster recovery, crisis management, and incident response — delivered in either tabletop or simulation mode.

Exercise Design

Exercise Manager provides a comprehensive set of tools to design realistic, structured exercises tailored to your organisation's needs.

Interactions

Build structured exercise scenarios using timed interactions. Define what happens, when it happens, and who delivers it to create a realistic exercise flow.

Media Injects

Enhance realism with media injects — upload documents, images, and other files that are delivered to participants at the right moment during the exercise.

Exercise Templates

Save time by reusing previous exercises as templates. Clone and adapt existing designs to quickly prepare new exercises without starting from scratch.

Delivery Modes

Every exercise can be delivered in either of two modes. Choose the one that fits the team you're testing and the scenario you've designed.

Tabletop

Gather your team in one room and work through a structured scenario together. Discussion-led, facilitator-paced, and ideal for testing decision-making, communications, and coordination when real-time pressure isn't the point.

Simulation

Deliver messages, emails, social media, and media reports to participants on their own devices as the exercise unfolds. Better for testing response under pressure — where information is fragmented, time matters, and decisions have consequences.

Team and Role Management

Exercise Manager makes it easy to organise participants, assign roles, and ensure everyone knows their responsibilities before, during, and after an exercise.

Team Organisation

Create and manage teams within your organisation. Assign team members to specific exercises and track participation across multiple events.

Role Assignment

Assign specific roles to participants — facilitators, role player coordinators, role players, team members, and observers — each with tailored access and responsibilities.

Easy Invitations

Invite participants to your organisation with a simple email invitation. New users are guided through a smooth onboarding process to get started quickly.

Observers

Add observers to exercises to provide independent oversight, capture lessons learned, and contribute to post-exercise evaluations.

Role Players

Designate role players and role player coordinators to deliver realistic scenario interactions, bringing your exercise to life.

Flexible Access

Accessible on laptops and mobile devices. Participants can join exercises from anywhere with an internet connection.

Evaluation and Feedback

Exercise Manager includes built-in evaluation tools to capture structured feedback and measure team performance across exercises.

360-Degree Evaluations

Create comprehensive evaluations with multiple question types — yes/no, timeframe, rating, and free text — to capture detailed feedback from every participant perspective.

Performance Tracking

Track evaluation results across exercises and teams. Identify trends, strengths, and areas for improvement over time.

Flexible Question Design

Design evaluations with customisable questions. Reorder questions, assign evaluations to specific roles, and tailor feedback to your exercise objectives.

Organisation and Team Evaluations

Create evaluations at the organisation level for exercise-wide assessments or at the team level for focused team performance reviews.
