If there's a concise, non-militaristic name for a team with a specific, urgent, short-term objective holed up in a room together, I'd love to hear about it. "Strike team" and "war room" just work really well.
- thecatspaw 8y agocrysis team works really well (and is commonly used in german)

- gaius 8y agoa team with a specific, urgent, short-term objective holed up in a room together They were not this. They were Walter Mitty fantasists. That’s what happens when people take the “business is war” mindset too seriously. How about “the priority one support team” in “meeting room A”?
- BlackFly 8y agoThe fire brigade. If you call the team that then you will find that where they meet doesn't require a name, since it is just an abstract representation of the burning building.
