Open Source Summit Europe 2024

In the world of product management, spread sheets and analysis tools dominate the daily business. However, when it comes to open source, many product managers struggle to quantify its benefits and limit it to risk and compliance handling. This session aims to bridge the gap between the open source community and product managers by exploring how open source can be incorporated into their existing tools and considerations. While traditional tools focus on quantifiable metrics, the non-quantifiable benefits of open source communities, such as technology awareness and company insights, are often overlooked. By integrating open source considerations and measuring points into existing tools and perspectives, including monetary quantifiable numbers, product managers can build a comprehensive business case that captures the value of open source. Attendees of this session will gain insights into the tools and considerations that product managers employ in their journey towards product innovation. By understanding product manager perspectives and needs, the open source community can better collaborate and support the integration of open source into product development processes.
