Glossary term

Tabletop exercise

A discussion-based rehearsal where a team walks through a realistic incident scenario, such as a sudden cost spike, step by step to test who does what and find gaps in the plan, without touching real systems. Why it matters: It exposes a broken escalation path before a real incident does.
