The Maestro™ Project is an open-source business model for an engineering, manufacturing and sales business, based on the fictional Swift Construction Company. Maestro is an open-source project hosted on GitHub and is licensed according to the business-friendly permissive BSD 2-Clause License.
The original goal for Maestro was to investigate open-source software development as a strategy for enterprise infrastructure software. Basic system requirements were documented using non-confidential user stories, workflows, and source data, entirely avoiding the need to divulge confidential information beyond the enterprise.
Maestro continues to provide a platform for exploring enterprise business software in general, and now also includes a proof-of-concept reference application called Maestro PLM (see demo). Additional information is available from the following references.

Maestro Concept

- Parts (part numbers, revisions, sources, bills-of-materials…)
- Projects (people, schedule, effort, material…)
- Issues (relationships, investigations, conclusions, actions…)
- Stock (serial numbers and quantities, purchasing, production, sales…)
- Files (engineering and ad hoc documents, revisions, author, editors, tags…)
- Users (user truth, role-based access control…)
The Maestro environment exhibits Transparency with Trust™ for data shared across engineering, manufacturing, support and administration teams.
