War-Room Operations Skill
When to Use
- Launches requiring daily standups and cross-functional coordination.
- Managing high-risk windows (launch week, pricing changes, major PR events).
- Ensuring swift resolution of issues and clear stakeholder comms.
Framework
- Cadence & Channels – schedule standups, async updates, and escalation channels (Slack, pager, email).
- Rituals – agenda for standups (status, blockers, metrics), risk reviews, exec syncs.
- Escalation Paths – define severity levels, decision owners, fallback contacts.
- Documentation – central log for decisions, incidents, mitigations, deployments.
- Monitoring Hooks – dashboards, alert routing, on-call rotations, support coverage.
Templates
- War-room charter (objectives, team, schedule, SLAs).
- Standup template (status, blockers, next actions, owners).
- Escalation matrix (severity, trigger, contact tree, resolution target).
Tips
- Keep war-room staffed with empowered decision makers.
- Record all decisions + rationale for post-launch retros.
- Automate reminders for updates to reduce noise.
