Metrics for InnerSource - Georg Link (Bitergia) - IS Summit 22
Channel: InnerSource Commons
Date: 30/11/2022

Peter Drucker famously postulated that “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”. This is true also for our InnerSource efforts. Not only may we be flying in the dark without metrics, but we may struggle to secure support from top-level management and funding for ongoing InnerSource efforts. This talk is about what metrics we can use for our InnerSource Programs. We will highlight the industry standard, open source GrimoireLab tool for getting InnerSource Metrics. For each metric we discuss, we will also see how the metric can be interpreted and used for managing InnerSource and securing support and funding for it. This talk will repeat many good practices we’ve previously discussed in the InnerSource Commons with the goal of giving new community members a primer on our growing knowledge base and giving long-time members an opportunity to reflect on their own use of metrics and how they may want to evolve it.
