Open Source Maturity Model

What is the Open Source Maturity Model?

The Open Source Maturity Model (OSMM) allows you to understand where your organization is on its open source journey.

By answering a series of questions, the OSMM framework evaluates your organization's open source maturity, providing a snapshot of its current stage. This stage is based on your organization's current culture, policies, processes, practices, and resources.

The model defines the benefits of open source across three dimensions:

1. Strategy
2. Managmement
3. Usage

Every organization will be at different stages of maturity across these dimensions. The OSMM creates an organizational baseline that you can use to define and achieve the ideal target state that works best for your organization.
