Getting started
Introduction
Runway runs your leadership team's weekly meeting as a single timed flight. Here is what the software does, and where to find the part you need.
What Runway is#
Runway is meeting software for a leadership team. One crew, one weekly meeting, run gate by gate against a clock, with the numbers, the quarterly priorities, the commitments and the open issues all in the same place the meeting happens.
It is built for teams running on EOS®, the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, and the weekly meeting it runs is the Level 10 Meeting®. You do not have to run on EOS® to use it. If you do, every section of the app maps onto a tool you already know, and you can switch the whole app into the words your implementer taught you.
The shape of a flight#
A meeting in Runway is a flight. It runs through a fixed set of gates, each with a time budget, in the same order every week. These are the seven that ship with a new account.
| Gate | Time | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-flight | 5 min | Check in as people. Personal and business bests. |
| Control Tower | 5 min | The weekly numbers, on track or off. Data, not debate. |
| Flight Path | 5 min | Quarterly rocks. Anything off track becomes an issue. |
| Announcements | 5 min | Short people and customer news, good or bad. |
| To-Dos | 5 min | Last week's seven-day commitments, done or not done. |
| Land the Plane | 60 min | The issues list. Identify, discuss, solve (IDS®). |
| Baggage Claim | 5 min | Recap, then score the meeting one to ten. |
The order and the minutes are yours to change, and you can add gates of your own. See The agenda.

Conventions in these docs#
- Section names are written in Runway's own vocabulary: Control Tower, Flight Path, Land the Plane. If your organization reads the app in EOS® words, the same page is called Scorecard, Rocks and Issues. The vocabulary page has the full mapping.
- Anything you click is written like Begin Boarding in bold, or in a mono box when it is a field name.
- Where a Runway section corresponds to a part of EOS®, the page says so under its title, and links to EOS Worldwide for the tool itself. Where it does not, it says that instead.
Getting help#
- Learning Center: short video walkthroughs of the same ground these pages cover.
- Support: reach a human. Open to signed-out visitors too, so a login problem never locks you out of asking.
- In the app, the ? beside a section title explains that section without leaving the page: open Runway.
