CNM Cloud Minimal

CNM Cloud Minimal (hereinafter, the Phase) is the third phase of CNM Cloud Project (hereinafter, the Project). The Phase goal is to upgrade all the software systems of CNM Cloud up to the sustainable minimum viable product (MVP) level. A team of developers (hereinafter, the Team) started working on that phase in January of 2020. CNM Cloud Embryo is the previous phase; CNM Cloud Usable is the successor one.

Deliverables of the Phase

The Team expects that the following deliverables indicate the end of the Phase.

Educational services

1. Three courses of the onboarding process, WorldOpp Orientation, Employableu Foundation, and CNMCyber Bootcamps, are fully up and running.
2. One course, Educaship Fellowship, has at least its minimum viable product (MVP) launched.
3. One course, CNM LMS Bootcamps, is offered to partners and Educaship Fellowship graduates.

Onboarded workforce

1. The WorldOpp Fellow Staff has at least three employees, each of whom owns one of the suites, the CNM Action, Competency, or Work Suite.
2. One WorldOpp incubator is fully staffed.
3. Careerprise contractors run all the systems according to awarded contracts.

Usable systems

1. All the systems of CNMCyber, including CNM Talk, shall be:
   • Available at cnmcyber.com, friendsofcnm.org, ksacerts.com, theeconomicgroup.com, and worldopp.org hostnames.
   • Installed and be ready to be used by the end-users.
   • Safe. All the systems shall use the latest stable versions of software with conventionally recommended patches applied. All the hostnames shall be protected by SSL certificates.
   • Using the same databases of customers and users.
2. CNM Cabin automatically:
   • Promotes a NetAnyone to a NetConsumer upon submitting a login name and password.
   • Assigns a student alias to a NetConsumer. The student alias shall be publicly displayed in the systems of the CNM Competency Suite.
   • Grants a NetConsumer user permissions in CNM Cabin and Cert.
   • Enrolls a NetConsumer in WorldOpp Orientation.
   • Promotes a NetConsumer to a CertStudent upon graduation from WorldOpp Orientation.
   • Grants a CertStudent user permissions in CNM Page, Talk, and Tube in addition to NetConsumer's permissions.
   • Unenrolls a CertStudent in WorldOpp Orientation after its completion.
   • Enrolls the CertStudent who has completed WorldOpp Orientation and Employableu Foundation.
   • Promotes a CertStudent to a CertUser upon graduation from Employableu Foundation.
   • Grants a CertUser user permissions in all the systems of CNMCyber.
3. CNM Mail automatically provides a CertUser with an email address in the login-name@cnmcyber.com format.

People

Team

The following people work on the Phase:

• Gary Ihar, CNM Technology Board member, customer, product owner and the Coordinator.
• Natalia aka Natly, primary developer, CNM Bureau Farm and CNM Cloud Next admin.
• Michael, CNM Technology Board member, CNM HandsOn Farm admin.
• Roman aka Romanof, primary developer, WorldOpp Federated Farm admin.
• Mariam, CNMCyber Coordinator, CNM Action Suite.

The Team needs, of course, much more software development but cannot hire more software developers because of documented requirements' shortage and undeveloped recruitment and retaining processes. That's the primary call for the Coordinators.

Stakeholders

The following stakeholders expressed their interest in the CNM Cloud Project and receive project updates:

• Atif, primary contractor in waiting for new requirements.
• B., China project client.

Up-to-date story

The Phase inherited practically a minimum viable product (MVP) of CNMCyber with all, but CNM Talk, systems installed, up, and running. However, the general public couldn't still use the plugged in systems because of lack of content and usable solutions.

Welcome Session

In early January, an minimum viable product (MVP) of WorldOpp Orientation was drafted at CNM Wiki and launched at CNM Cert. By early-March, the first two graduates, Mariam and Kevin, started onboarding.

By mid-April, a marketable product of the Course was designed. The new text drafts and images were developed. Three missing pieces left were (a) videos, (b) quiz questions, and (c) edited texts.

Foundation

In December of 2018 and January of 2019, a minimum viable product (MVP) of Employableu Foundation was drafted at CNM Wiki. Its videos were recorded and uploaded to YouTube. Kevin was close to launch its first session, CNM Essentials, in mid-February of 2019, but the unresolved challenge was how to enroll prospect learners.

As the body of knowledge that would be required to possess, the Foundation looked complicated; most of CNMCyber end-users don't really need that complexity. So, the Foundation was never operational at CNM Cert during the CNM Cloud Embryo phase.

To address the challenge, the Team decided to create a simpler course addressing CNMCyber only and substitute all the Foundation quizzes with surveys, so Foundation would serve the purpose of collecting user data in addition to its educational purposes.

So, the current Phase started with launching WorldOpp Orientation as a standalone course. By mid-April, the CNMCyber content was transferred from the Foundation to the new course. An updated version of the Foundation was drafted and the team of Mariam and Kevin started working on its renewed minimum viable product (MVP).

Placement

In early April, Gary Ihar launched a new sprint for the WorldOpp fellow wikipage, which now served as a set of target KSAs for the CNMCyber Bootcamps' graduates.
