Ask HN: War rooms?
What's your experience with war rooms? Does your team have one? Do you find them useful? Best practices? etc
Good idea, have a wall of dashbooards, ensure you have at least one person of every competency in the room (in our case; AI programmer, Network Programmer, DBA etc;) And also have 1-2 communication folk, someone technical who's job it is to communicate with the management layer, and the management layer to shuffle information from Frontline/Support back and forth.
This fragmented communication stream from frontline needs to be collated and sorted, do not waste engineer time with it, you will spend too much critical time there.
Thinking about it as a way of resolving coordination problems and politics.
I.e everyone in the same room. No input from outside of the room except by designated communicators . No email , slack, Skype, etc. One board, goals for the week and the day and just work and conflict resolution all day long. No small talk.
Coffee, tea , doughnuts, noise cancelling head phones , sandwiches .
