# Shared Workspaces

> How Brunel's real-time shared workspaces give your whole team visibility into planning work.

Brunel is built team-first. Unlike individual AI tools where every conversation is siloed to one person, Brunel's workspaces are shared by design — every project, session, and plan is visible to the team in real time.

***

## How Shared Workspaces Work

Every member of an organization works inside the same workspace. When anyone creates a project, starts a session, or updates a session's phase, every other member sees it immediately — no syncing, no exports, no "send me the link."

This means:

* **Engineering managers** have full visibility into what's being planned and where each task stands, without asking for status updates
* **Senior developers** can build plans that the whole team can reference, reuse, and build on
* **New team members** can open any past session and read the full planning history — the reasoning, context, and decisions are all there

***

## The Organization Hierarchy

```
Organization
└── Projects
    └── Sessions
        ├── Messages (full history)
        └── Context Files
```

Everything flows from the organization down. Members, billing, and settings are managed at the organization level. Projects and sessions inherit visibility from the org, scoped by each member's role.

## Real-Time Collaboration

All activity in Brunel is cloud-synced in real time:

* Session status changes are reflected immediately across all members
* New sessions and projects appear in everyone's sidebar instantly
* The Dashboard updates live as work moves through the lifecycle phases

There's no need to refresh or manually sync — the workspace always reflects the current state of your team's planning work.
