Main Description

It is an essential part of any CM system to ensure that work products 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 task needs to be easy to do and occur on an ongoing basis.

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