summary
Five concrete missteps to avoid: lack of a clear why that leadership understands; failing to balance engineering reuse (enterprise apps jump from ~50 to 500 components on average) against company and community value; ignoring the triad legal security governance (CVEs, relicensing risks, who controls a project); weak alignment with developer advocacy and missed inner‑source opportunities; and no sustained executive funding — several major OSPOs shrink or vanish in the last 18 months.
