Management Accounting for Inner Source

我们建议开发和验证模型和工具原型，用于计算内部源劳动力和评估内部源项目和程序。内部源（IS）是在组织内使用开源软件开发实践。采用IS的组织在内部开放其部分软件代码和其他工件，并邀请组织内的所有开发人员贡献代码更改。因此，是打破了发展筒仓，并建立跨组织内的边界，没有合作existing.In本项目的第一阶段，我们开发和评估（使用案例研究研究）的方法和工具，测量是通过测量补丁流的合作。补丁流是跨组织边界的代码贡献流。开发这种基本度量方法的目的是为计算IS劳动力和评估IS项目和计划提供模型和工具。这些模型和工具仍然不存在。在这个建议的后续项目中，我们将开发这些模型，并原型地实现工具来支持它们。我们将使用多案例研究来验证我们的工作。组织可以使用这些模型和工具来更有效地管理IS项目和计划。我们期望我们的工作将简化信息系统的采用和管理，并将使软件开发更有效和更有效率。建议的工作分为四个工作包。结合经济学文献和我们自己的项目经验模型的经验报告，我们将开发一个会计模型的IS劳动力和开发一个工具原型实现该模型。模型和工具将能够提供组织内IS劳动力的聚合视图（工作包α）。使用该工具作为工具，我们将验证的可行性和实用性的会计模型在多案例研究与三个大型软件开发组织（工作包β）。随后，我们将开发一个评估模型的IS项目和计划。从文献和专家访谈，我们将确定质量属性的IS程序。我们将设计和实施度量标准，以根据已识别的质量属性（工作包γ）评估IS计划。我们将验证的可行性和实用性的评估模型的第二个多案例研究与三个大型组织（工作包δ）。所提出的模型将是第一个他们的同类帐户的IS劳动力和评估IS在一个组织。

We propose to develop and validate models and tool prototypes for accounting for inner source labor and evaluating inner source projects and programs.Inner source (IS) is the use of open source software development practices within an organization. An organization adopting IS opens up parts of its software code and other artifacts internally and invites all developers within the organization to contribute code changes. Thus, IS breaks down development silos and establishes collaboration across intra-organizational boundaries where no collaboration existed before.In the first phase of this project we developed and evaluated (using case-study research) a method and tool for measuring IS collaboration by measuring the patch-flow. Patch-flow is the flow of code contributions across organizational boundaries.The purpose of developing this basic measurement method was to base models and tools for accounting for IS labor and for evaluating IS projects and programs on it. These models and tools still do not exist. In this proposed follow-up project, we will develop these models and prototypically implement tools to support them. We will validate our work using multiple-case case study research. Organizations can use these models and tools to more effectively manage IS projects and programs. We expect that our work will simplify IS adoption and management and will make software development more effective and efficient.The proposed work is structured into four work packages. Combining IS experience reports with models from economics literature and our own project experiences, we will develop an accounting model of IS labor and develop a tool prototype implementing the model. Model and tool will be capable to provide an aggregated view of IS labor within an organization (work package α). Using the tool as a vehicle, we will validate the viability and utility of the accounting model in a multiple-case case study with three large software developing organizations (work package β). Subsequently, we will develop an evaluation model for IS projects and programs. From literature and expert interviews, we will identify quality attributes of IS programs. We will design and implement metrics to evaluate an IS program in regards to the identified quality attributes (work package γ). We will validate the viability and utility of the evaluation model with a second multiple-case case study with three large organizations (work package δ).The proposed models will be the first of their kind to account for IS labor and evaluate IS within an organization.
