Baseline, Release, and Assurance Management¶
Baseline Management supports baseline lifecycle control, release packaging, adoption actions, and evidence pack governance.
Governance intent
This module creates a controlled transition from engineering completion to auditable release and assurance evidence.
What You Can Do¶
- Create and view baselines.
- Freeze baselines and review history.
- Compare baselines and drill into differences.
- Manage release packs (edit, lock, unlock, Excel export).
- Track adoption actions.
- Manage evidence packs, audit comments, and CSV exports.
- Use release and assurance dashboards.
Typical Workflow¶
- Create baseline from mature requirement and architecture state.
- Freeze baseline when ready for controlled release.
- Edit release pack content and lock for handoff.
- Capture adoption actions and status.
- Maintain evidence pack and audit comments.
- Use compare views to assess deltas across baseline versions.

- Baseline list, history, create, detail, freeze.
- Release dashboard and release pack pages.
- Assurance dashboard and evidence pack pages.
- Baseline compare and compare-details pages.
Collapsed control
Unlock release packs only for approved changes and record why the lock was lifted.
Practical Tips¶
- Lock release pack only after verification and safety checkpoints pass.
- Use compare details during change approval meetings.
Practical sequencing
Review compare details immediately before release-pack lock to avoid stale assumptions.
