In order to identify the relationships among those projects, a common approach is to is to establish a project portfolio and/ or a programme management structure. This assists in identifying common objectives for the business organization, identifying and managing risk, and identifying resource connections. All open source projects require governance structures, policies and procedures, and specific control mechanisms to ensure strategic and tactical alignment with the organization's respective goals, objectives and risk management strategy.
