 Open source is a reality for all organizations dealing with software in some way, not only for software vendors, but also for any organization addressing digital transformation. So managing open source becomes a requirement for most businesses.
 
-One well established way to manage open source is the pattern of the Open Source Program Office (OSPO). Many companies and other organizations have adopted this pattern and there is a wealth of knowledge and experience on how to do this well. Following the spirit of open source a lot of that is shared openly in the community. This book follows this spirit.

 To fully overcome these challenges, organizations must invest in properly managing open source operations on both cultural and practical levels. The *how* of accomplishing this is often through the OSPO, as it fosters committed, cross-functional collaboration within the organization to address open source issues encountered by various teams or departments.

Managers know that their workers will not always follow policy and therefore want effective options to automate use, management and tracking of open source components. Automation is useful in many areas of open source including licence compliance, and security.

Developing training materials and documentation and/or aiding teams to produce these across different departments are key tasks.

-- **Risk Management:** OSPOs are well-placed to take a holistic view on the risk that the organization faces when using open source projects. It is useful for the OSPO to assess the risks by obtaining a comprehensive view of the organization's tech stack. This may include generating SBOMs which allow the OSPO to consider the risks in software from vendors, legacy software, and proprietary software as well as in open source. This is more about a business assessment perspective rather than just data gathering, as risk can only be managed, not eliminated. Optimizing SBOMs is about balancing risks against benefits.

-There are a number of reasons why we need insights into open source projects. Some example reasons are: An organization built from open source would like to track contributions back to key projects. An organization that participates in an open source ecosystem wants to recognize potential failures and provide stabilizing resources as needed. An organization wants to do their part to ensure the longevity of open source software, in particular, the software that is meaningful to their business. And, of course, an organization needs to remain compliant with upstream license requirements and attend to security issues that can impact the ways they work.

 In the past, it may have been possible to get away with knowing little to nothing about important open source projects. This is no longer a viable option, however, so as we get to know the open source projects we care about we can use open source community metrics to help us. In this chapter, we consider how community metrics can be placed in context and how together they improve insight to drive better strategic decisions across an organization.

 #### Communicating Impact
 
-Beyond giving us an understanding of an open source project (or a collection of projects), metrics play an important role in communicating impact. Following the goal-question-metric approach used in the CHAOSS project, we present four goals that open source program offices can consider, alongside associated questions that can provide insight to the associated goals. Stemming from these goals and questions, we recommend a series of metric-related CHAOSS [Practitioner Guides](https://chaoss.community/about-chaoss-practitioner-guides/) to provide specific recommendations within an organization.
