Practical wisdom to build your OSPO: The Good Governance Initiative
summary
The Good Governance Initiative presents a practical OSPO framework: five goals, ~25 activities each with a description, opportunity assessment, indicators and a scorecard to adapt locally, plus translations; it publishes a GitLab repo that creates activities as issues and a static site so teams can track progress. Metrics integrate via GrimoireLab + CHAOSS for 30+ data sources and 70+ dashboards to show things like median time‑to‑merge (<1 day in examples) and a backlog management index; deployments exist in several large orgs and the handbook stresses clear definitions and not tracking people.
