You created a baseline of your system configuration and added several changes to that as amendments. Meanwhile you are afraid that the big number of Deltas may cause inconsistencies and make you unable to understand the current system configuration. What should you do?

  1. Proclaim a design freeze.

  2. Go on with amendments.

  3. Revise the baseline.

  4. Create an entirely new configuration.

The correct answer is: Revise the baseline.

Revise the baseline should be done because the baseline is the reference point for all other changes. By revising it, the delta between the baseline and the current system configuration will be reduced, making it easier to understand the current state of the system. Option A and D should not be chosen because they involve a significant un-doing of the work done so far, disrupting the flow of changes and possibly leading to confusion and wasted effort. Option B should not be chosen because continuing with amendments without revising the baseline may result in inconsistencies and difficulties in tracking and understanding the changes made. Therefore, revising the baseline is the best course of action in this situation.
