In both project management and configuration management, the term “baseline” is used to refer to a specific version of a product or plan that has been formally reviewed and approved, and serves as a basis for future development and comparison.

In project management, a baseline is typically established for the project scope, schedule, and cost at the beginning of the project, and may be updated as changes are made to the project. These baselines provide a reference point for measuring progress and identifying deviations from the original plan.

In configuration management, a baseline is used to establish a known, controlled version of a product or system at a particular point in time. This baseline can then be used as a reference for future development and maintenance activities.

One statement that is not true about baselines in these disciplines is:

  • A baseline cannot be changed once it has been established.

While baselines are intended to provide a stable foundation for future work, they can and often are changed as necessary to accommodate changes in project requirements or system functionality. However, any changes to a baseline must go through a formal change control process to ensure that they are properly documented, reviewed, and approved before being implemented.

Yes, It is the greatest way to learn many things. It is a Base on the discipline.
