Create a baseline of a subset of the requirements

A baseline contains a snapshot of your requirements at a given point of time. There are 4 ways to create a baseline:

Create a baseline from a search

  • Search for requirements
  • Tick a requirement (or all)
  • Press "Actions..." and click "Make a baseline"
  • A page representing the baseline and its properties is created,
  • You must click "Freeze" on that page to actually freeze the requirements.

In Jira

It is possible to link an issue to a specific baseline of the requirements. So your client can't change requirements on the fly!
