Tactical Meeting

A tactical meeting is an operational meeting where a team coordinates its current work: members share progress, raise what blocks them and leave with next actions. It is about execution. Creating a role, changing an accountability or setting a policy happens in a governance meeting.

The word "tactical" stands for this practical focus on day-to-day operations. During the meeting, the team solves concrete problems, makes immediate decisions and checks that the work still serves the organization's strategic objectives. The team members running the ongoing projects attend it. Because they meet at a regular rhythm, they track progress, spot obstacles and correct course when needed.

In holacracy, the agenda is built inside the meeting from the items participants bring. The seven steps of a tactical meeting come from article 3.2 of the Holacracy Constitution. A team of eight gets through them in sixty minutes.
