[Verse 1]
When systems fail and chaos strikes
You need a plan that really works
But how do you know if it's prepared
Before the real emergency hurts
Gather your team around the table
No servers down, no actual fire
Just scenarios and thinking caps
To test what happens when things expire
[Chorus]
Practice makes perfect, tabletop style
Plan, Prepare, Present with a smile
Discuss, Decide, Document the way
Table talks save the day
Practice makes perfect, round and round
Test your response before you're down
Plan, Prepare, Present, that's the key
Tabletop exercises set you free
[Verse 2]
Start with objectives, what's your goal
Define the scope and set the scene
Pick realistic failure modes
Database crash or network screen
Create a timeline, step by step
What happens first and what comes next
Give every player their clear role
Who calls whom when systems are hexed
[Chorus]
Practice makes perfect, tabletop style
Plan, Prepare, Present with a smile
Discuss, Decide, Document the way
Table talks save the day
Practice makes perfect, round and round
Test your response before you're down
Plan, Prepare, Present, that's the key
Tabletop exercises set you free
[Bridge]
No pressure, just discussion
Walk through each decision point
Find the gaps in communication
Where your processes disjoint
Take notes on what's not working
Update your playbook right away
The lessons learned in safety
Will guide you on the darkest day
[Verse 3]
Facilitate with gentle guidance
Keep the conversation flowing
Ask the questions that reveal
Where your blind spots might be showing
After action, gather findings
What worked well and what fell short
Make improvements to your process
Turn your practice to support
[Chorus]
Practice makes perfect, tabletop style
Plan, Prepare, Present with a smile
Discuss, Decide, Document the way
Table talks save the day
Practice makes perfect, round and round
Test your response before you're down
Plan, Prepare, Present, that's the key
Tabletop exercises set you free
[Outro]
When the real storm comes knocking
You'll be ready, calm and sure
Because you practiced at the table
Your response will be mature
Plan, Prepare, Present every quarter
Keep your skills sharp and bright
Tabletop exercises, practice perfect
Everything will be alright
