What is the difference between Variants and Baselines?
- Mileva Briand
- Jérôme Rancati (Requirement Yogi)
Are you looking for a Baseline feature on Requirement Yogi Cloud? Unfortunately, we do not have them yet (Baselines are to be released in 2025). Another way to manage versions is with Variants. Don’t know the difference? Check our guide:
Use cases
Baselines | Variants |
|---|---|
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
Feature | Baselines | Variants |
|---|---|---|
Create versions of requirements |
all requirements, or a preset from the search, or from a page. |
Variants are assigned per page (you can assign them one at a time, or multiple pages at once). |
