What is a war room in Project Management?

CONCURRENT ENGINEERING IS CALLED AS "WAR ROOM" WHERE ALL STAKEHOLDERS SIT IN ONE PLACE AND DISCUSS ABOUT PROJECT AND ITS ACTIVITIES

The idea of war room is to gather all the vital information in one place and brainstorm with all the people who are working on a particular project. The President (I mean, the Project Manager) is asking questions, and the Generals (ekhm, employees?) answer them. The key decision makers are given the most relevant information – everything in order to improve the process. Perhaps the technology is not as sophisticated as in the movies – whiteboards and regular computers are doing the trick.

A war room is a meeting room for the purpose of discussing project management.

Right from the initial planning, resource allocation, schedule, budget, risks and issues would be reviewed with key stakeholders.
