The Role of OSPO Manager for the Organization’s Success – Kiran Kumar Reddy Aluka & Sudhakar M S, Siemens Technology Services Pvt Ltd.
As an OSPO manager, you may face escalations from multiple project teams due to missed release milestones. For instance:
Project Manager: “You haven’t provided us the OSS audit reports on time.” OSS Auditor: “The project team hasn’t requested the OSS auditing on time. The Project Manager is not aware of the OSS compliance process.”
Key questions to consider:
1. Do developers know how to address license and security risks?
2. What is the role of different stakeholders in OSS compliance stream?
3. Educate on Tools and processes
4. Inner source and opensource contributions
5. Leverage the right tools, processes for emerging technological trends.
6. Maintaining whitelist/blacklist third party components?
Our journey began with escalations and less knowhow of the practices and entire organization is very new to this domain. Today after 14years, Siemens FT D IN boasts a strong and dynamic OSPO team, dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in open source.
By understanding and addressing these aspects, an OSPO manager can significantly contribute to an organization’s success in the open source ecosystem.
