Thank you for agreeing to help me in researching product management processes in OSGeo projects. My aim is to try and establish:

• Does the Open Source collaborative development model incorporate and support product management disciplines?
• Are there formal product management strategies within the OSGeo Community?
• How is a roadmap developed?
• Is the roadmap inspired by a cohesive vision or is it driven by the willingness of larger users to fund features?
• How do projects get to hear the voice of the user?
• Do software development methodologies impact product management?
• Are there best practices that we can learn from and share?

Following on from this survey I plan to contact some (most) of the respondents and if you are available conduct a short interview with you via a call or by email.

It would be great if you could complete this survey by 3rd June 2019.

I hope to present the results of this research at FOSS4G at the end of the summer, I will also write up the results and share with our community and others. Subject to timing I will make an early version of my presentation/write up available to respondents for comment before publication.

Thanks once again for your help

May the FOSS be with you

Steven
