Baseline of SCM

It can be:

1. AlreadyApprovedConfiguration items that coexist in the controlled database

2.Deliver products(For sets that use published configuration items)

3. Specific to the ProjectMilestoneA configuration item that is associated with each other usually refers to a product to be delivered.

 

-Software benchmarks-a group of software configuration items (documents and other software products) that have been officially reviewed and approved as the basis for subsequent software development, and can be changed only through formal change control accumulation. For example, design reports are the basis of coding, and design reports can be used as software benchmarks.
-Non-benchmark configuration items-a group of software configuration items not officially reviewed and approved

 

Baseline vs milestone

Baseline:A "snapshot" in a specific period". It provides a formal standard based on which subsequent work can be changed only after authorization. After an initial baseline is created, changes made to the baseline are recorded as oneDifference valueUntil the next baseline is built.
Milestone (milestone): events scheduled by relevant persons,Used to measure the work progress.

Baselines and milestones are different concepts.Milestone is the concept of Project ManagementAs the Plan Division point, it does not include the specific content and its management method, but is just a simple division statement;Baseline is the concept of configuration management., YesSet of versions that are approved to be created after each configuration item reaches a certain standard. Baseline is used as the foundation for storing historical performance and for the next goal. It is based on the management and development of software assets, it covers specific, authentic, and touchable content.

The Project Manager can establish a baseline as a milestone.

Baseline and baseline products need to be differentiated.
Many people often say that baseline is a baseline product, which serves as the basis for the next action. Therefore, the baseline should be reviewed. For example, the specification is the baseline of the design.
Milestones are more defined as a point, a sign, and we are processing it as a sign of completion of a stage. The mark of completion of this stage must have the output of some baseline products, at the same time, it is necessary to review the progress, resources, risks, costs, technical issues, etc. SQA should also report the progress of the process in the past phase, and SCM should report the status of the configuration library, if there are configuration items with too many changes, you need to review the reasons and measures. Of course, you must review whether the plan should be modified ...... If the milestone passes, the next phase officially starts. During the measurement process, the phase mark in the process model prevails.
Baseline products and milestones are defined in the SCM plan and project plan.

 

BaselineConfiguration item

 The concept of a congfiguration item is actually developed from hardware, which is basically similar to the hardware age. For example, for Founder computer, a main board in the computer is a configuration item, and a mouse is a configuration item; configuration item management is to record, track, audit, control the different types of computer hosts by which model of the motherboard, which model of the mouse, which model of the display. For motherboard manufacturers, the configuration item is a diode, board core, module circuit; in short,Configuration item division depends on the granularity of your managementYou canCodeFiles are managed as a configuration item, but a large cost is required. You can use a module as a configuration item. The low management cost may also meet your actual needs.
