Collaborations come in all sizes and levels of complexity. From complex virtual organizations that span multiple countries, to informal groups within a collaboration at a single campus, COmanage provides enough flexibility to support most types of collaborations.
Depending on the size and complexity of your virtual organization, you need to consider how people should join the collaboration (e.g., the enrollment process), what applications they might need to accomplish their goals, and how they should be removed or expired at the end of their participation in the VO. The COmanage team has put together an assessment with questions that target several of the possible layers within a collaboration. While not all questions apply, by going through this assessment, you will learn more about your own processes and decide what is important for the platform.
