The development of openIMIS is done mainly by developers who are loosely organized in the Developers Committee. While the great strategic lines in openIMIS product development are currently done according to a https://openimis.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OP/pages/40763442 that is aligned at the main funding phases of the openIMIS Initiative, the real life https://openimis.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OP/pages/2058879051 evolves from the openIMIS value chain for software development:
