The first and foremost part we need to consider here is the way in which the OSS projects operate. According to Dr Marietta Baba of Michigan State University, "Open Source development violates almost all known management theories."
Unlike the typical proprietary projects, the OSS projects do not start with the big 'design documents' but the development models being followed are incremental. The individual interests and company desires typically take a back seat when it comes to project quality- The OSS model also teaches individuals to respect the interests of other people and exploit the synergies.
