The Workplace is your organization’s main hub within Timebook, enabling members to collaborate, access shared resources, and manage company-wide objectives. This article covers the key components of the Workplace accessible through the Navigator and explains roll-up modules, which provide an organization-wide view of specific data types.

Timebook Workplace: Mirror your organization

In Timebook, the Workplace is a central hub where all members of your organization can collaborate using shared resources. Think of it as the digital equivalent of your organization, where everyone can access shared data, align on company-wide objectives, and track progress across multiple teams and projects.

Your email address can only be linked to a single Workplace, but you can join multiple Workplaces using different emails—an excellent feature for those working across organizations.

The Workplace brings together organization-wide tools and data, helping members stay connected and informed on strategic plans and activities. It is designed to streamline product management for enhanced visibility, collaboration, and easier tracking. In short, a Timebook Workplace provides a single platform to help your teams build exceptional products.

The name of your Workplace is displayed in the top-left corner of the app.

Timebook also offers a Workplace settings module where Owners and Admins can configure the entire app’s behavior, manage members, and integrate external tools. This module ensures your Workplace is always aligned with your organization’s needs.

In Timebook, Workplaces bring everyone and everything together at the organizational level, supporting high-level goals and shared resources.

Teams, on the other hand, provide focused spaces for groups working on specific tasks or projects. For more information, see Team navigation

Workplace members

Owners and Admins can invite new members to join your organization's Workplace in Timebook. Members can join multiple Teams, bringing their expertise wherever it's needed.

Each Timebook Workplace has a set number of seats. When your organization changes, you can remove members and invite new ones to reflect the latest structure. You can track the number of free seats in the Billing section of Workplace settings.

The Workplace section in the Navigator

Timebook’s left pane is the Navigator, your go-to panel for accessing all critical modules and features. Within the [Workplace] section of the Navigator, you can explore essential modules that help manage your organization’s structure and knowledge base.

The following modules are available in the [Workplace] section of the Navigator:

You can quickly access your organization’s key details in the [Workplace] section of the Navigator.

Module	How to use it
Products	Products represent the real-world products your organization creates or supports. By adding products to your Workplace, you can map your portfolio into the app, centralizing information and resources. Timebook also lets you link Teams to Products, making it easy to manage responsibilities and highlight contributions. For more information, see Product
Teams	View an organized list of Teams within the Workplace, grouped into Teams you’ve joined and those available to join. If you are the Owner of an archived Team, you can also restore it here. This module provides an overview rather than full access to Team-specific details, helping you stay informed about the current Team structure. For more information, see Team navigation
Wiki	Create, store, and share essential documentation, policies, and knowledge resources accessible to all members of the Workplace. This module is a central knowledge base that ensures consistency and easy access to information. For more information, see Wiki

Roll-up views of Workplace data

In Timebook, you can dive deep into specific data at the Team level, allowing for a precise focus on strategy, discovery, and delivery items. But when you need the big picture, roll-up views come into play.

Roll-up views provide a comprehensive look at all Workplace data, offering powerful sorting and filtering options to help you zero in on the information you need. These views are accessible through the Navigator and focus on specific data types.

Access modules with roll-up views of all relevant Workplace data directly from the Navigator.

For example, you can explore roll-up views for Work Items, Opportunities, Goals, and many more. Each roll-up provides a unified view of all related items from all Teams across the Workplace, enabling a big-picture perspective while maintaining the ability to drill down into specifics.

• Aligning on high-level objectives: With organization-wide access to Goals, everyone in your Workplace has a clear view of top priorities and strategic objectives. This alignment keeps everyone focused on shared outcomes, helping them work together toward measurable results.

• Unified Project and Team overviews: You can use the consolidated view of all Projects across the Workplace to get insights into ongoing work. This roll-up view enables everyone to align resources and spot collaboration opportunities. You can also get an overview of all Teams within the Workplace to stay connected with different groups and join new Teams as work evolves, strengthening collaboration across departments.

• Centralized documentation: The Wiki is a central knowledge base where teams can store and access important documentation, policies, and guidelines. This shared repository ensures that everyone can work with the same information and a single source of truth.

• Long-term planning: Roadmaps offer a visual timeline for major activities, helping teams coordinate work over extended periods. By making dependencies and milestones visible, Roadmaps support effective planning and help teams align on deadlines and resource needs.

Owners and Admins can customize various aspects of their Workplace to better fit the organization’s needs. Configuration options include streamlined member and role management, integration with external apps, and access to billing information.
