Fast-Track Open Source Policy Formation
The JumpStart Open Source Policy Workshop is designed to help enterprise organizations define open source software policies within 30 days. Many organizations have begun to use open source solutions without first defining an open source policy, while others want to move from informal policy guidelines to industry best practices. Whether you need to strengthen an open source policy or build one from scratch, the JumpStart Open Source Policy Workshop will help your organization establish a policy foundation that can adapt to changing business needs and open source products.
Open Source Policy Workshop
It shouldn’t take months to formulate an open source policy. The JumpStart Open Source Policy Workshop accelerates the process of developing a policy through expert advice from experienced consultants, on-site policy development meetings, and an open source policy workbook. Together with representatives from your legal, technical, and procurement departments, your JumpStart consultants will guide you through the policy workbook, which includes recommendations, exercises, best practices, sample policies, and other critical resources. The workshop sessions will drive policy decisions around key open source issues for the enterprise such as selection, sourcing, usage, support, maintenance, and tracking and auditing open source deployments.
At the end of the workshop you will have an initial policy ready for implementation, which will allow your engineers to move forward on open source initiatives within approved and enforceable guidelines.
