Will Global Configuration Management affect Requirements Management in 6.x if we don't implement it?
My team is studying Global Configuration Management. Do the baselines in GCM replace the baselines we’re used to in the RM tool? i.e. Can we still create and access baselines of an RM project area like we used to? Also, if we prefer not to implement at this time, will the reviews still change from formal and informal to current stream and new stream?
Accepted answer
Hello,
You don't need to turn on Global Configuration management in order to baseline an RM project. However baselines have improved in 6.0. Here is a video that I think you will find useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKqAyI1HLcc&index=14&list=PLZGO0qYNSD4X757uGAmkWhieGknL4asHl
Reviews have also changed. What was known as a "formal review" is now a review on a baseline. An "informal review" is now a review on the stream.
