Introduction

Overview

BaselineX is a powerful tool designed to help teams create, manage, and track baselines of Jira issues over time. A baseline represents a snapshot of selected Jira issues at a specific point in time, allowing teams to monitor progress, and ensure that the project remains aligned with its initial plan.

This app solves critical challenges like scope creep, rework, and miscommunication by providing historical insights into what was committed and agreed upon. By tracking changes over time, teams can maintain better visibility into project development, budget changes, and deviations from the original scope.

Key Features

• Incremental Baseline Creation: Allows you to create a baseline gradually, adding issues incrementally, so that the baseline can evolve over time until it's locked.

• Snapshot of Issue States: View the exact state of Jira issues at the time of baseline commitment, ensuring a clear record of what was agreed upon.

• Tracking Changes Over Time: Monitor changes to estimates, comments, and other issue details with baseline version control.

Why Use BaselineX?

• Prevent Scope Creep: Stay aligned with the project’s original plan by tracking deviations and additions to the baseline.

• Enhance Collaboration: Provides a clear and shared understanding of what was initially committed, preventing confusion and ensuring all team members are on the same page.

• Reduce Rework: By maintaining a history of all decisions, comments, and issue states at the time of commitment, the app helps reduce the need for repeated rework.

• Visibility and Accountability: Offers clear visibility into who changed what and when, enabling better accountability and decision-making.
