Purpose
  • To ensure team members are working on the most recent versions of the project files. The idea is to update the files displayed in their development view (workspace) with those in the recommended baseline.
Role:  Any Role 
Frequency: This will depend on the volatility of project artifacts. It should be a daily practice to 'rebase' the view. 
Input Artifacts:   Resulting Artifacts:   
Tool Mentors:   

Workflow Details:   

It is an essential part of any CM system to ensure that artifacts are under version control, and that team members have access to approved baselines. The idea of updating views to ensure access to the most recent collective body of work is obvious. This activity needs to be easy to do and occur on an ongoing basis.

Each team member having updated a view, can work on any artifact through the standard process of 'check-out, edit, build, unit test, and check-in' as described in the Activity: Make Changes.
