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

  1. Create baseline from mature requirement and architecture state.
  2. Freeze baseline when ready for controlled release.
  3. Edit release pack content and lock for handoff.
  4. Capture adoption actions and status.
  5. Maintain evidence pack and audit comments.
  6. Use compare views to assess deltas across baseline versions.

Key Pages

  • 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.
