gameplans
Coaches' battle schemes
Gameplans are strategies or schemes for achieving specific objectives, originally in sports but now applied broadly.
A coach develops a gameplan for defeating an opponent; a business develops one for entering a new market.
The word emphasizes coordinated action toward a defined goal: What's our gameplan for the presentation?
Also spelled as two words: game plans.
