The specific journals and papers issued from these authors can be found in the Appendix at the end of this article. This article is produced as a part of the course 42433 – Advanced Engineering Project, Program and Portfolio Management E22 at the Danish Technical University (DTU). Introduction: A war room is typically a well-equipped and well-designed meeting room to help the company plan their strategy, share information between all project teams and departments, and provide a specific space for collaboration.
- Physical Meetings: Physical Meetings generally lead to increased motivation, higher efficiency in completing tasks, and better team coordination; however, they require all relevant members to be physically present and there is no flexibility in scheduling
- Virtual and Digital Meetings: Virtual Meetings provide benefits such as increasing the amount of participating members and allowing for a quick and effective sharing of information, although the meetings tend to be more tiring and do not incite the same level of collaboration and focus.
- Hybrid Meetings: Hybrid Meetings are completely avoided as they are less effective across all the meeting objectives.
- Virtual War Rooms: These war rooms implement the concepts, tools, and methods used for online meetings and make effective adaptations to better serve the purposes of the war rooms.
