How to set up an Open Source Program Office? Get insights and use cases from the OSPO Alliance
summary
Describes a practical OSPO playbook: a four-step Good Governance Initiative (define goals, turn goals into canonical activities, add KPI scorecards, iterate) with a GitLab template that deploys a dashboard and epics in about ten minutes to track progress. Claims 97% of software relies on open source, flags EU CRA cybersecurity and IP/licensing risks, and stresses cultural barriers — user habits, manager incentives, hiring and sales model shifts — as the main obstacles to durable open source value.
