44. Target (Expected) Operations At Risk Intervention/Action Required
Diversity &
Viability
● Program PMC is composed of individuals from 3+ organizations, ideally of 2+
org types, and including 1 bank
● Women represent 50%+ of active participants
● Program leadership is actively seeking new participants and contributions
across different channel, forums, and organizations
● Contributed projects are “seconded” - additional organizations other than
the contributor commit to contributing to the code base
● Program PMC is composed of individuals from just two organizations
● Less than 35% of the program’s active participants are women
● Less than 50% of the program’s active participants are members of
traditionally underrepresented demographic groups
● Program PMC is composed of individuals all from the same organization
● PMC membership itself is in transition, incomplete, or in doubt
● Less than 25% of the program’s active participants are members of
traditionally underrepresented* demographic groups
● One or more project or working groups are missing a lead / chair, and have
been for > 1 month
Roadmap &
Resources
● Programs and projects work to a public roadmap; programs consider the
releases from all component workgroups and projects and how they fit
together
● Programs are actively supported with appropriate resources needed as they
move through project lifecycle, e.g. from incubating to operating
● Program has committed resources from participating firms who
themselves have permission to work on the program as part of their “day
job”
● No requirement exists for developers to create a separate “work” /corporate
github ID
● 2019 Roadmap exists but is not published on the wiki and/or is
incomplete (e.g., does consider work activities of all projects and work
groups)
● Roadmap milestones were missed in the previous quarter
● Projects are staying in incubating status for >6 months
● Participants in the program largely do so “on the side”, fitting time for
FINOS and other OSS work amongst their official job duties on which
their performance review and incentive comp plan depends
● No 2019 roadmap exists
● No roadmap was used in the last quarter of 2018
● Projects are staying in incubating status for >12 months
● Participants in the program do so from home, on home networks using
their personal computer; OSS work is not an official or even officially
permitted part of most participants’ “day jobs”
● No plausible path to a production ready, publicly available, product/release
can be identified amongst the program’s projects and working groups
Hygiene &
Operations
● Meeting agenda developed and shared via the mailing list >24 hours in
advance
● Minutes are kept including all action items, resolutions and attendees and
where/if a policy exists the policy is followed; minutes are distributed within
a week of the meeting
● PMC meets at least once a month
● Questions/Inquiries to the general list are answered intermittently
● Minutes are kept for most but not all meetings and/or minutes are
sometimes incomplete
● PMC meets at least once a quarter
● PMC members, especially PMC leads, have difficulty using collaboration
infrastructure (e.g., Google Groups)
● Questions/Inquiries to the general list often go unanswered
● Communication is ad hoc, infrequently using program mailing lists, and is
largely dependent on 1:1 phone calls and emails (and thus opaque to the
larger community)
● PMC and/or general meetings are not happening
Quality &
Security
● Code is well written, demonstrably proven to be secure, and follows best
practices
● Code in program projects is written consistent with foundation legal and
licensing requirements
● Projects build test cases as they code, integrating test cases into the build
process
● Use of CI/CD tooling is common but not consistent across all code
producing projects
● Code of programs projects’ is uses differing coding standards, idioms,
and design patters
● Testing of program’s projects’ codebases is intermittent and haphazard
● Coding standards are idiosyncratic
● One or more projects introduce a dependency that has a non-compliant
license
● Use of CI/CD tools is not consistent and dependent solely in personal
preferences of individual developers
● License inspection of code is not occurring or haphazard
Growth &
Adoption
● There is QoQ growth in active participants
● The program has projects or working groups that have released code or
other work products that are being used in production, and that usage is
growing
● How the program’s projects’ released code and work products create/will
create business value can be quantified and easily explained in layperson
terms
● Active participation is flat
● The potential/expected business value to be derived from projects is
generally understood through not known for sure, and yet to be
quantified
● Active participants are declining QoQ
● The connection between what projects and working groups are working on
and how that work could create value for financial services users/consumers
of project/WG work products is not understood
* Traditionally underrepresented groups in both financial services and technology; including women and people of color
