MAKE YOUR EXERCISE CATCHY
exercise revision. Exercise designers are
often too familiar with the plot and know
what to expect, and might therefore easily
overlook gaps in the process or in the
scenario consistency. If conducting
technical training or exercises using more
sophisticated tools/technology, do test
runs first, so as to check that all tools are
working properly, the environment is set
correctly etc.
Visual aspect of the whole exercise –
Graphically unified documents with a
proprietary exercise logo, document
header or footer will look more
professional and advanced.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
Although the exercise offers plenty of opportunities for being innovative and creative,
some rules should be observed.
Your exercise can and should be eye-opening and impressive. Draw inspiration from
cyber professionals. Exercise results may lead to new technical or procedural
innovations.
Invite actual professional journalists and let them actively participate.
Exercise designers cannot cover all of the current knowledge. Allow for consultation
with subject-matter experts.
