"Same as any software project" Corporate software projects can be designed to preserve silos and inefficiency due to any so-called-valid excuse of dysfunctional middle management (rude, but... change my mind) OSM is a good opportunity to change practices and show some solutions that would be really hard to provide at company scale. So, respectably no, not like any software project please. All the best François
