Understanding RMsis Baseline mechanism

In this article, we will look at the need of Baselining and how the achieve the same in RMsis. This feature is available from RMsis V.1.2.0 onwards.

User Scenario

  • The project team selects a set of requirements for a Sprint.
  • The chosen requirements are debated upon, and modified on an ongoing basis.
  • The team gradually builds consensus on requirements.
  • When there is a universal agreement, the agreed upon requirements are baselined.

Creating Baseline in RMsis

  • For all the chosen requirements
    • Identify (within the team) a requirement for review, discussion and update.
    • "Mark for Baseline", when consensus is built on the chosen requirement.
  • When all the chosen requirements have been "Marked for Baseline", open up the set for final review by the team.
    • Resolve issues, in case of any comments.
  • If team has no further comments, Requirements Manager will "Create Baseline" from all the requirements "Marked for Baseline".
