Shape a contribution framework that reflects what your organisation needs. Use this as setup begins, contributions happen, and in scaling to evaluate if it still works. Start with business goals and team realities, then design a process that lowers effort, adds value, and builds trust. A good framework encourages contribution and evolves with the system.
How to
-
Understand business needs
Talk to teams and leaders about where contributions matter most. Use the Interviews tactic to capture their pain points and expectations.
-
Define contribution types
Clarify what people can submit, such as tokens, components, or docs.
-
Design the pathway
Set up simple steps for contributors. Align these with your chosen Governance Model.
-
Run reviews
Decide who reviews work and how decisions are made.
-
Evaluate and refine
Revisit the framework as needs change. Adjust roles, steps, or tools.
