[OSPO Book] Question about Chapters

[germonprez]

Hi @anajsana

Today in the CHAOSS Metrics WG meeting, we were talking about a book chapter that we could possibly work on. While we have a few ideas, we were wondering if there is an overarching framework for the book -- a set of chapters that you are hoping to have. The reason that this was asked is because as we were framing a chapter, we were wondering "is this being covered in another chapter?" and "are there frameworks from other chapters that we could leverage?"

The chapter possibility that we were discussion was around Demonstrating OSPO Value and how metrics can play a part in that process. As part of this discussion, we were thinking that the chapter might start with a discussion of how it is important to address the following questions:

What is the overall strategy of your organization?
How is your OSPO aligned with this strategy?

However, if these questions are addressed in other chapters, we don't want to repeat or create confusion. From these questions, we can discuss metrics that can demonstrate this alignment and subsequently how to talk about that alignment throughout an organization.

hey @germonprez! we've improved some of the documentation in the OSPO Book Project, to help people start contributing on the different chapters, including the one on Metrics Strategy and CHAOSS Project. This article summarizes what has been added.

• GOVERNANCE.md outlines the different contributor roles within the project and the responsibilities that come with them.
• CONTRIBUTING.md now includes a newcomer section to facilitate new contributions.
• Table Of Contents (TOC.md) now provides more information on the different topics expected to be covered in each chapter.

Re: Strategy Chapter
