## Forces

- Aggressive roadmaps for delivery
- Project management concern that engagement will lead to missed deadlines
- Project management concern that Code contribution and/or mentoring may lead to dilution of subject matter expert time spent on their own projects (other teams may require their time).
❎ Aggressive roadmaps for delivery

+ Elimination of rewriting common code saves time (write once, use many times)
+ Crowd-based testing and debugging saves time (and improves quality)
+ The collaboration and synergy of inner sourcing can generate new, innovative features .

## Solutions

- Known pattern: temporary fork by product team, merging changes back later to component team
- Known pattern: Temporary fork by product team, merging changes back later to component team
- Known anti-pattern: surreptitious temporary fork, no communication
- New Pattern: Pre-pull request (prior to release), to ensure component team has buy-in, to avoid breakage for temporary fork
- Allocate time into Development sprint/release schedules to allow for inner sourcing
- Provide education to product owners and Development leads regarding time saving benefits of Inner Source

## Resulting Context

Time is allotted in the schedule for inner sourcing. Less duplicative development due to availability of reusable code. (No negative impact on customer deadlines or content delivery commitments.)
