Task Force Framework
A Task Force is the main working vehicle within the VIVO Community and may be created out of existing Working Groups, the VIVO Management Team, the VIVO Steering Group or any other VIVO group. Task Forces are created to undertake work in a defined area and timescale, thereby allowing collaborative work in a structured environment.
The driver behind adopting this model for executing work in the VIVO community is that as an open source community grows, the diversity of the participants' interests and expertise increases and concomitantly, the ability to manage the work done within the community becomes more complex. It becomes difficult to track the work everyone is doing in the community to help avoid that people unknowingly are working on the same issue or at cross-purposes. There's also the desire to increase the visibility of projects being undertaken by community members and to encourage greater community engagement. To realize these goals, while remaining a distributed and peer-oriented organization, a lightweight Task Force structure assists in coalescing and managing the tasks.
