Since 2007 the EWG-DSS has been managed by a Coordination Board. One of the aims of this coordination board is to promote joint-work among the group members and to encourage more participation of the whole group in DSS related projects and events, the best way possible.

EWG-DSS Management Structure:
Since May 2015, the EWG-DSS has updated its Management Structure in order to incorporate to the Coordination Board (CB) an Advisory Board (AB), which is composed of senior members of the EWG-DSS group and of the international DSS community. The new group structure also distinguishes different teams, namely: the Scientific Collaboration Team (SCT) and the Editorial Team (ET), among the EWG-DSS Members who collaborate with EWG-DSS projects and joint–Editions, respectively. The figures below illustrate the current EWG-DSS Management Structure:
The Board of Assistants (BA) is formed by young researchers linked to the Coordination Board (CB) and Executive Board (EB) members, in order to assist them with the EWG-DSS annual tasks. Board and Team members can be in more than one of the groups of the EWG-DSS new defined Management Structure. However, the members of the Coordination Board are not supposed to be members of the Advisory Board and vice-versa.
The EWG-DSS Editorial Team (ET) is a dynamic group of researchers composed of EWG-DSS Members that have guest-edited Journal Special Issues and Springer Books with the EWG-DSS CB. The Scientific Collaboration Team (SCT) includes the researchers who are involved with EWG-DSS research projects and initiatives, like for instance the Collab-Net Project.

Past EWG-DSS Coordination Teams:
In the period of June 2007 to January 2011 the EWG-DSS Coordination Board was composed by 3 founding members of the group: Pascale Zaraté, Fatima Dargam and Rita Ribeiro (see photo below). In the period before 2007, the EWG-DSS was always managed by one Coordinator, co-founder of the group in 1989.

From 2011 to 2013, the EWG-DSS Coordination Board doubled in number of members. Besides the old coordinators, the EWG-DSS counted with the assistance of 3 new Board Members (Jorge Hernández; Boris Delibasic and Shaofeng Liu) to better administrate the activities of the group, as well as to bring new ideas to it.
