Welcome to the May 2023<\/strong> newsletter from 3SL!<\/p>\n

This newsletter contains a mixture of news and technical information about us, and our requirements management and systems engineering tool “Cradle”. We would especially like to welcome everyone who has purchased Cradle in the past month and those who are currently evaluating Cradle for their projects and processes.<\/p>\n

We hope that 3SL and Cradle can deliver real and measurable benefits that help you to improve the information flow within, the quality and timeliness of, and the traceability, compliance and governance for, all of your current and future projects.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about your use of Cradle, please do not hesitate to contact 3SL Support<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

3SL SaaS<\/h2>\n

Deploying Cradle as SaaS (software as a service) is becoming an increasingly attractive option for many organisations. Using SaaS greatly simplifies the deployment of Cradle as there is nothing that you, or your corporate IT, need to do.<\/p>\n

We ask for the names of the people who will use Cradle, and the IP addresses from where they will access Cradle, and then we do the rest.<\/p>\n

You and your colleagues get access to the latest Cradle, backed by our internationally renown technical support, with no need to be concerned about IT services, data integrity, backups or any of the other details that can be a burden for an in-house installation.<\/p>\n

For more information, please look here<\/a>. If you would like to talk to us about SaaS deployments of Cradle, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Baselines and Snapshots<\/h2>\n

Baselines<\/h3>\n

Baselines is the mechanism in Cradle\u2019s Configuration Management System<\/a> (CMS) to protect information from changes. Each baseline<\/a> is a named repository for the state of a project at a specific point in time. A succession of baselines can be created over the life of a project, each containing more and more information as the project completes its sprints, iterations or phases.<\/p>\n

Items can be registered into an open baseline and are given a version number: 01<\/strong>, 02<\/strong>, 03<\/strong> … The version number assigned to each item is either 01<\/strong> if there are no baselined instances of that item, or it is 1<\/strong> higher than the highest version already in the database.<\/p>\n

When the baseline is closed:<\/p>\n
