How to Evaluate an Open Source Project

Evaluate an open source project by checking fit, license, releases, maintainers, security signals, support, dependencies, and exit options.

Measure open source project health with balanced signals for activity, releases, maintainers, governance, documentation, support, and risk.

Understand open source software TCO across migration, training, support, hosting, security, compliance, maintenance, and exit costs.

Learn how open source affects vendor lock-in, data portability, formats, APIs, hosting, forks, self-hosting, support, and switching costs.

Plan an open source software migration with scope, data export, pilots, compatibility checks, training, support, rollback, and review.

Prepare open source procurement evidence for project identity, license, security, support, costs, data handling, hosting, dependencies, and exit.

Write an open source software policy that covers allowed use, approvals, licenses, dependencies, contributions, security, records, and exceptions.

Learn what an OSPO does, why organizations create one, and how it supports open source policy, procurement, contributions, security, and strategy.
