Tabletop Exercise (TTX)

A Tabletop Exercise (TTX) is a simulated planning activity where team members discuss and review their response strategies to a hypothetical emergency or crisis scenario. It involves walking through procedures and decision-making processes in a discussion-based setting, without actual deployment of resources. TTXs help organizations identify gaps, improve coordination, and strengthen readiness by practicing responses in a low-risk environment. These exercises are commonly used in industries like healthcare, public safety, and business continuity planning to ensure teams are prepared for real-world situations.
