When an outage hits, can you brief the C‑suite with clear, decision-ready RTO/RPO expectations—without the jargon or drama? In this lesson, you’ll learn to translate recovery timelines and data-loss windows into executive terms, quantify ranges with confidence and dependencies, and deliver updates using the Context → Expectation → Risk/Assurance structure aligned to SLO/SLA posture. You’ll find crisp definitions, boardroom-grade examples, and targeted exercises to lock the language, fix common errors, and practice incident-ready phrasing with calm authority.
