The FINOS InnerSource SIG is a community of people implementing, or interested in implementing, InnerSource within their financial services organization.
What InnerSource metrics would be valuable to measure around each InnerSource project in the Financial Industry to understand:
The value of the project from the perspective of cost saved through reuse or otherwise ( USD saved ideal )
How much each InnerSource contributor is contributing to the project transparently to recognise then
The Engineering health of the project from the perspective of maintainability, security and quality
How InnerSource is enabling better collaboration on engineering / engineering efficiency
Understand the adoption by versions to minimise support costs
Open Source behaviours in organisation - Russel
Requirements
People like to segment these metrics by business unit to understand the how innersource impacts across the org
Things you cannot put a metric easily on
Is the project successful and what is the business value of the project -
Social component of developer experience delivered by InnerSource - Georg
Contribution to better Innovation - Russel
Innersource as a Job creator - Brittany
