Strategic planning headquarters
A war room is a space where strategic operations are planned and coordinated—originally military command centers, now any room dedicated to intensive planning or crisis management.
Campaign war rooms coordinate political strategy; corporate war rooms handle product launches or damage control.
The term emphasizes urgency and focused decision-making: The team gathered in the war room to monitor election returns.
