Description:

InnerSource is an emerging software development paradigm, aiming to use and adapt Open Source development models within the boundaries of an organization. InnerSource has been shown to produce benefits of increased R&D efficiency, improved innovation, higher software quality and better talent acquisition and retention. With that said, implementing InnerSource within an organization is not easy. There are many dimensions and parameters that can impact a smooth implementation such as changing corporate culture, shifting manager mindsets, measuring success, forging consensus, and accommodating customer-committed delivery dates.

Some of the challenges for InnerSource include: how do you change your corporate culture? How do you measure successful implementation? How do you change the mindset of middle managers? How do you forge consensus for software component requirements across two or more different business lines? How can you accommodate customer-committed delivery dates into a paradigm based on open source methods? We are tackling these challenges and more with InnerSource Patterns.

In this webcast, you'll learn:

What InnerSource patterns are and how they solve specific problems within an organization.
How to implement two patterns—Common Requirements and 30 Day Warranty—and discuss answers to new InnerSource challenges by creating "donut" patterns.
Understand how you can contribute to and learn from the InnerSource Patterns group on Github and Slack.
