There is one Production model (the only version visible to business users) and a single shared Staging model (where all Data Experts collaborate). There are no personal branches: every Data Expert sees everyone else’s in‑progress changes in Staging. When a change set is ready, it’s published (promoted) to Production.

Collaboration Practices

  • One shared Staging = communicate early.
  • Announce large or impactful changes in the team channel/ticket.
  • Small, incremental publishes is recommended over big-bang releases.
  • Test well before publishing.

Environments

Production

Audience: Business users (read-only), Data Experts (read + historical diffs). State: Always stable and verified. Goal: Trustworthy, org-wide analytics.

Staging (shared)

Audience: Data Experts only. State: Mutable, continuously evolving. Goal: Fast iteration, testing, and collaboration before publish.
