What is the difference between Variants and Baselines?
Are you looking for a Baseline feature on Requirement Yogi Cloud? Unfortunately, we do not have them, instead we have Variants. Don’t know the difference? Check our guide:
Use cases
Baselines on RY Data Center | Variants on RY Cloud |
|---|---|
We want to create a Baseline for each new release of the product. | We need different specifications for 2 different customers, and they are slightly different. |
We want to keep track of requirements that have been approved by the client. | We must keep the public version intact, while we're currently working on the next version of the product |
Use as a history tool | Parallel evolution of the same product but with small differences |
I want to test a specific version of requirements and link it to Jira. | |
Features Comparison
