# Version Control & Collaboration

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.
