The [[lectio]]s of [[CNMCyber]] that cover usage of that wiki include [[What CNM Wiki Is]], [[Collaboration on Documents]], [[Functions of Wiki]], and [[CNM Wiki at Cyber]]. However, they cannot cover all that the ''Devs'' need. At the same time, the [[World Wide Web]] ([[World Wide Web|WWW]]) contains additional resources for [[MediaWiki]], which is the software behind [[CNM Wiki]]. The ''Devs'' face similar challenges while learning about [[DNS]], [[website IA]], [[WordPress]], as well as other tools and knowledge frameworks that the [[CNMCyber Team]] utilizes in website development.

 +
:* One more [[COTS]] package shall be added for cnmcyber.com landing. Our production instance of [[Educaship WordPress]] would be [[CNM Page]], but we need to use something simpler for the landing at cnmcyber.com. We look at [[Ghost]], which is written with [[NodeJS]], and, possibly, [[Grav]], which is really lightweight.

===What Devs produce===
−
===Content===
+
: Most importantly, the ''Devs'' are expected to achieve their [[#Career objectives|Career objectives]] and acquire other personal benefits as their result of the ''Practice''. As a part of [[CNMCyber Team]], the ''Devs'' are expected to produce measurable outputs in two categories, website deliverables and work documents:
−
===Structure===
+
:# '''[[#Website deliverables|Website deliverables]]''', which are those [[CNMCyber website]]s, their components, and other [[CNMCyber product]]s that the ''Devs'' are able to produce. [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s will further utilize to develop the very [[CNMCyber website]]s that the particular ''Dev'' practices with.
−
===Reuirements===
+
:# '''[[#Work documents|Work documents]]''', which are those documents that support website developments. Particularly, they include those requirements that would allow hiring [[Careerprise contractor]]s to develop those [[CNMCyber website]]s that the ''Devs'' don't produce directly, on their own.
  
−
==What Devs do==
+
: In other words, there are no expectations of the ''Dev's'' achievements of their own [[#Career objectives|Career objectives]]. [[CNMCyber Team]] expects the ''Devs'' to deliver either (a) website components or (b) the documents that would allow those components to produce. The ''Devs'' stop practicing with [[CNMCyber website]]s and work documents after their delivery. [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s further take over their development.
−
Studying the backgrounds
+
 
−
Specifying the deliverables
+
: In addition, the ''Devs'' may be offered to develop [[CNMCyber product]]s other than [[CNMCyber website]]s. For instance, development of this very wikipage is also a project that the ''Dev'' may take on. However, the main focus is on producing deliverables and work documents for [[CNMCyber websites]].
−
Planning the project
+
 
−
Hiring the contractors
+
==Work documents==
−
Working with contractors
+
Generally speaking, a [[document]] is a separate piece that (a) presents data, (b) is composed of texts and/or images, and (c) can further be edited or revised. A document that can no longer be revised, for instance, a transcript of a meeting that has already ended or a [[statement of work]] that a contractor has already agreed on, becomes a [[record]].
−
Creating the deliverables
+
 
−
Commissioning the product
+
For the purposes of this wikipage, ''work documents'' shall  refer to those documents which target the general public regardless of whether those documents are available to the public or not.
−
  Managing the product
+
 
 +
The work documents are or might be utilized by one or more of the following audiences:
 +
# A particular ''Dev'' who practices with a particular [[CNMCyber website]] shall use the work documents for the development process and reports.
 +
# ''Dev's'' mentors shall use the work documents to assess the ''Dev's'' progress and his or her readiness to move further.
 +
# The other ''Devs'', who will work on other websites in the future, may further utilize it in their ''Practice'' as prototypes and training materials.
 +
# [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s shall use some work documents to hire [[Careerprise contractor]]s in order to develop what the ''Devs'' are not able to develop on their own.
 +
 
 +
In addition, the ''Devs'' may practice with those public documents such as website texts that belong to the [[#Public contents|Public contents]]. As [[work product]]s of the ''Devs'', documents shall be published at [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
 
 +
===Product wikipages===
 +
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''product wikipages'' refer to descriptions of [[CNMCyber website]]s, as well as deliverable requirements, organizational and technical documentation such as [[standing operating procedure]]s ([[SOP]]s), minutes of the meetings, testing and other reports, etc. Those pages are listed at the [[:Category:CNMCyber Websites|"CNMCyber Websites" category]]
 +
 
 +
===Project wikipages===
 +
: At [[CNM Wiki]], [[#Projects|Projects]] are documented using two types of wikipages:
 +
:# The progress on particular projects is reported on the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
 +
:# Project pages document everything, but progress reports. Those pages are listed at the [[:Category:CNM Website Projects|"CNM Website Projects" category]] and include [[project document]]s such as [[project charter]], [[asset register]], [[competency register]], [[stakeholder register]], [[requirements traceability matrix]], [[project scope baseline]], [[project schedule baseline]], [[project cost baseline]], and [[acceptance criteria]], as well as those communications, memos, meetings, etc. that are related to developments of [[CNMCyber website]]s.
 +
 
 +
==Website deliverables==
 +
For the purposes of this wikipage, ''website deliverables'' refer to those [[work product]]s that the ''Devs'' deliver to [[CNMCyber Team]] for further use as cores of [[CNMCyber website]]s, their components, or new features of existing websites.
 +
 
 +
The ''Devs'' shall aim to create one or more of the following website deliverables: (a) [[#Public contents|Public contents]], (b) [[#SEO efforts|SEO efforts]], (c) [[#Website designs|Website designs]], (d) [[#WWW settings|WWW settings]], and, finally, (e) [[#System-based websites|System-based websites]].
 +
 
 +
===Public contents===
 +
: For the purposes of this wikipage, ''public contents'' refer to those audiovisuals, graphics, and texts that the website visitors shall be able to read, see, and/or hear. As [[work product]]s of the ''Devs'', texts shall be published at [[CNM Wiki]], while audiovisuals and graphics shall be stored at [[CNM Lab]].
 +
 
 +
===SEO efforts===
 +
: For the purposes of this wikipage, ''SEO efforts'' refer to those action plans that shall improve website's [[search engine optimization]] ([[search engine optimization|SEO]]). As [[work product]]s of the ''Devs'', action plans shall be published at [[CNM Wiki]].

 +
: For the purposes of this wikipage, ''system-based websites'' refer to those [[website]]s that are powered by one or more [[content management system]]s ([[content management system|CMS]]s). The websites may represent [[prototype]]s, [[minimal viable product]]s ([[minimal viable product|MVP]]s), or parts of [[Careerprise Funnel]]. As [[work product]]s of the ''Devs'', websites shall be hosted at [[Opplet]].
 +
 
 +
===Website designs===
 +
: For the purposes of this wikipage, ''website designs'' refer to those depictions that represent current or future website's appearance, including single [[webpage]]s and [[website IA]]s overall. As [[work product]]s of the ''Devs'', final depictions shall be stored at [[CNM Lab]]; their thumbs and sketches may emerge at [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
 
 +
===WWW settings===
 +
: For the purposes of this wikipage, ''WWW settings'' refer to those scripts of [[DNS record]], lines of [[web server]] files, and hosting details that are necessary for the website to be accessible on the [[World Wide Web]] ([[World Wide Web|WWW]]). As [[work product]]s of the ''Devs'', scripts, lines, and details shall be published at [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
 
 +
==Projects==
 +
Generally, a [[project]] is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique [[work product]]. They aim to solve a problem and the resulting output. The ''work product'' that is created to deliver to its customer is called a [[deliverable]].
 +
 
 +
On this wikipage, ''projects'' specifically refer to those [[website project]]s that are undertaken to create [[#What Devs produce|What Devs produce]]. The ''Devs's'' deliverables include [[#Website deliverables|Website deliverables]] and [[#Work documents|Work documents]]. While working on projects, the ''Devs'' are engaged in the [[#What Devs do|What Devs do]] activities as discussed above.
  
−
==Websites==
+
===Authorized projects===
−
Generally speaking, a [[website]] is a collections of webpages published on the [[World Wide Web]] ([[World Wide Web|WWW]]), as well as service capacities and resources attached to those pages. ''Cyber'' websites serve marketing purposes; they are important at every level of [[CNM Cyber Funnel]], including attracting, educating, closing, retaining, as well as engaging. As work products, ''Cyber'' websites are also vital in ''Cyber'' learner training.  
+
: Those [[#Projects|Projects]] that are authorized to practice with are listed on the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
  
−
===Featured===
+
===DREPD patterns===
−
: At the ''Cyber'', featured websites are those that the [[#Team|Team]] specifically promotes through its [[#Market presence|Market presence]]. Particularly, those websites are promoted at [[marketing outlet]]s, [[public relations]] ([[public relations|PR]]), [[advertising]], and [[personal selling]]. Three featured websites of the ''Cyber'' are:
+
: ''Main wikipage: [[DREPD]]'' patterns represent the steps in a projects progression.
−
:* '''[[CITPMA.com]]''', official [[website]] of [[CITPMA]].
 
−
:* '''[[CNMCyber.com]]''', official [[website]] of the ''Cyber''.
 
−
:* '''[[iDosvid.com]]''', official [[website]] of [[iDosvid]].
 
  
−
===Traffic-generating===
+
: Although no single straightforward pattern of project advancement efforts, various developments tend to be cyclical. As an example, letters in the [[DREPD]] cycle represent five steps:
−
: At the ''Cyber'', traffic-generating websites are those that the [[#Team|Team]] doesn't promote, but support in order to generate traffic to the [[#Featured|Featured]] websites. Five traffic-generating websites of the ''Cyber'' are:
+
:# '''D''' for "[[#Discovering the issues|Discovering the issues]]". To initiate a project, the ''Devs'' shall identify the website need that they would like to satisfy. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with a situation in which someone realizes that he or she needs a better Internet access.
−
:* '''[[Bskol.com]]''', where ''[[Bskol]]'' is a brand name of a ''Cyber'' spin-off.
+
:# '''R''' for "[[#Researching the grounds|Researching the grounds]]". To start the initiated project, the ''Devs'' shall study the website needs and work environments in some depth. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's search for available Internet service provider's offers after he or she realized that they need to improve their Internet access.
−
:* '''[[FriendsOfCNM.com]]''', where ''Friends of CNM'' is a former name of the ''Cyber''.
+
:# '''E''' for "[[#Envisioning the results|Envisioning the results]]". To plan the researched project, the ''Devs'' shall imagine what the solutions should look like. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's decision what Internet access they are willing to purchase.
−
:* '''[[HOTCOE.com]]''', where ''hotcoe'' is a former name of the ''iDosvid''.
+
:# '''P''' for "[[#Planning the production|Planning the production]]". To execute the project plan, the ''Devs'' shall decide how the imagined solution should be developed. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's plans for how they purchase the needed Internet access and how they pay for it.
−
:* '''[[Inplz.com]]''', which is a home page of [[Inplz app]]s.
+
:# '''D''' for "[[#Doing to move forward|Doing to move forward]]". To start a new DREPD cycle, the ''Devs'' shall act on the plan, observe real situations, and re-identify the website need. Actually, the action verbs in that step starts with ''D''; ''do'' what is planned, ''detect'' what hasn't been expected, and ''discover'' new wills. That new discovery may start a new cycle; new data shall emerge while doing and/or after getting something done. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's purchase of Internet access and getting lessons learned in order to make the next purchase better.
−
:* '''[[Kryvi.com]]''', which is a home page of [[Kryvi app]]s.
 
  
−
==Website projects==
+
: This cycle or, to be more exact, cycle of cycles, can be applied to various types of developments, including audiovisuals, [[minimum viable product]]s ([[minimum viable product|MVP]]s), textual contents, prototypes, and [[website IA]].
−
For the purposes of this very wikipage, [[website project]]s, ''website developments'', or, simply, ''web devs'' are those [[project]]s that are undertaken to develop ''Cyber'' websites and their components. Website development normally consists of several interrelated projects.
 
  
−
===Content projects===
+
: In the meanwhile, the ''Devs'' are encouraged to apply at least one [[DREPD]] cycle to every task mentioned in the [[#What Devs do|What Devs do]] section above.
−
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''content projects'' refer to the [[website project]]s that are undertaken to develop general public contents of ''Cyber'' websites. General public contents are those audio-visuals, images, multimedia, and texts that the visitors of ''Cyber'' websites shall be able to see or hear when they access the ''Cyber'' webpages.
 
−
:# '''Non-textual contents''' such as audiovisuals, images, and multimedia. [[#Contractors|Contractors]] shall be hired to development audio-visuals, images, and/or multimedia. To accomplish so, separate projects shall be formalized. The completed audio-visual, image, and multimedia files shall be stored at [[CNM Repo]]. The other website developments do not necessarily depend on general public contents. Until they or their drafts are developed, [[placeholder]]s shall substitute the future content in other developments.
 
−
:# '''Texts'''. ''Cyber'' webpages are literally [[HTML]]-based documents, which means that the webpages are textual documents marked up with [[HTML]] tags in order to embed non-textual contents and make all viewable on the [[World Wide Web]] ([[World Wide Web|WWW]]). Since [[#Documents|Documents]] are regular outputs of ''Devs'' work, the ''Devs'' are encouraged to develop textual contents using [[CNM Wiki]]. The other website developments do not necessarily depend on general public contents. Until they or their drafts are developed, [[lorem ipsum]] shall substitute the future content in other developments.
 
  
−
: Development of ''Cyber'' websites' content, most likely, consumes the most of website development time. Since the websites shall reflect the actual situation, the website content shall be periodically updated even when the website is already up and running.
+
===Project variety===
 +
: ''Main wikipage: [[Website project]]''
  
−
: The other, not for the general public, contents include key words for [[search engine optimization]] ([[search engine optimization|SEO]]) and other technical texts.
+
: The [[website project]] wikipage presents a general, not specific to the ''Cyber'', variety of website development endeavors.
  
−
===Design projects===
+
===Sprint===
−
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''design projects'' refer to the [[website project]]s that are undertaken to develop graphical appearance for ''Cyber'' websites. Creation of certain images or audiovisuals that are used in website contents is a part of the [[#Content projects|Content projects]].  
+
: In [[CNM Agile]], a [[sprint]] refers to the completion of [[DREPD]] cycles that lead to a desirable deliverable [[work-product state]]. One sprint typically lasts for 3-5 weeks.
  
−
: [[Web design]] is essential for every [[website]] generally and ''Cyber'' website particularly. By its definition, development of ''web design'' is creative; design-developing [[#Contractors|Contractors]] shall be hired on a per-hour basis. At the ''Cyber'', web design projects can be undertaken to develop a single [[webpage section]], especially a main one.

==Projects of projects==

[[File:Solution-project.png|400px|thumb|right|[[Problem]], [[solution]], and [[project]]]]Any authentic [[website]] is a unique deliverable by itself. A Website is made up of of different elements like audiovisuals, designs, DNS records, images, and texts, each of these elements needs to be developed and delivered before the website can be launched.
  
−
: At the ''Cyber'', designs are divided in [[graphic design]]s and [[UX design]]s. Graphic designers shall normally be hired to achieve webpage esthetics; UX designers shall work on great [[user experience]] with the page. The work outputs of one designer shall be given to another designer until both agree that the [[webpage section]] they work on is both graphically and [[UX]] acceptable.
+
So, a bigger deliverable, which is a website in that case, is an aggregate of several smaller deliverables. Therefore, the website development consists of many projects. Several projects shall be undertaken in order to develop one website; several projects shall also be undertaken in order to develop each website component.
  
−
: Deliverables of ''design projects'' are pixel-sharp [[product depiction]]s of one or more [[webpage section]]s. After the [[#Customer|Customer]]'s approval, they shall be used as inputs to the [[#Website as one product|Website as one product]] developments. In order to store the deliverable files at [[CNM Repo]], the [[#Contractors|Contractors]] who work on the designs need to have proper access.
+
The ''Devs'' normally practice with those projects that are listed on the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage; however, the ''Devs'' can also propose and initiate other other projects.
  
−
===SEO projects===
+
===Problem recognition===
−
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''SEO projects'' refer to the [[website project]]s that are undertaken to develop and manage [[search engine optimization]] ([[SEO]]) for ''Cyber'' websites. ''Cyber's'' SEO efforts aim to generate traffic of those people who look for apprenticeship, entry-level job, internship, hands-on training, high-school student job, professional orientation, sysadmin job, and other ''Cyber'' services to the ''Cyber'' websites.
+
To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:
 +
: Marie a ''Dev'', noticed that the landing screen of your website needs some background. After researching the requirements, she came up with a solution involving drawing. Marie is now working on a project to implement this solution. Marie describes the future video. She is not a graphic designer, but she may create a sketch or just describe that drawing in order to help [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s hire needed designers.
  
−
: ''SEO'' efforts belong to competitive marketing; various actors on the market try to emerge in search engine results as high as possible. Since [[Google]] search engine is dominant; ''SEO'' can be viewed as competition over Google ratings. ''SEO'' can also be considered as a part of [[information architecture]].
+
===Solution idea===
 +
: To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:
 +
: Tnya a''Dev'', found a problem with the landing screen of the kryvi.com website which needs some background. Tanya researched the constraints and came up with a solution by creating a drawing. Now, she is undertaking the solution idea project while planning for that drawing to be created. Tanya is not a graphic artist, but she is sketching and describing that drawing in order to help [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s hire needed designers.
  
−
: Results of ''SEO projects'' are published at [[CNM Wiki]]; [[CNM System Administrator]]s use those results to update the actual website protocols.
+
===Solution development===
 +
To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:
 +
:# ''Solution development project''. Nadia is a graphic artist and is seeking opportunities in her field. While working as the ''Dev'', she discovered [[CNMCyber]]'s need to have a drawing for their kryvi.com website's landing screen. Nadia carefully reviewed available sketches and descriptions. To understand the constraints, Nadia attended a [[Careerprise conference]]. She was directed to the [[standing operating procedure]] ([[standing operating procedure|SOP]]) that described CNMCyber's policies and requirements related to image acquisitions. Particularly, Nadia found out that the drawings shall be submitted to [[CNM Lab]] in the [[SVG]] format. Then, Nadia envisioned the desired deliverable. After that, Nadia planned for her drawing to be created. Specifically, she decided how she would draw the solution and submit it as a deliverable and estimated her time commitment. Nadia proposed her plan to [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s and was hired as a [[Careerprise contractor]] in addition to her ''Dev'' role. Now, Nadia is undertaking the solution development project while creating the drawing in order to deliver it to [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s.
  
−
===Software projects===
+
===Solution deployment===
−
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''software projects'' refer to the [[website project]]s that are undertaken to develop software that powers ''Cyber'' websites.
+
To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:
−
:# '''CMS-based'''. Primarily, this software represents a [[content management system]] (or [[content management system|CMS]]). ''Cyber'' websites normally use [[CNM WordPress]] under their hood. In the past, the [[#Team|Team]] have also used other [[content management system]]s such as [[Drupal]] and [[Joomla]]. If the need emerges, some considerations can also be given to [[Ghost]], [[Grav]], and [[Jekyll]].
+
: Anna a ''Dev'', identified a problem with landing screen of your website requires a background. After researching the constraints, Anna envisioned some drawing as the solution for that problem. Now, she is undertaking the solution idea project while planning for that drawing to be created. She describes the future video. Although not a graphic designer, Anna can either create a sketch or describe that drawing in order to help [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s hire needed designers.
−
:# '''Plain code'''. The authorization and landing pages of [[#Featured|Featured]] websites can also be coded with [[HTML5]], [[CSS]], and [[JavaScript]] without any ''CMS''.
 
  
−
: Results of ''software projects'' shall be stored at [[CNM Repo]]; [[CNM System Administrator]]s use those results to install and run the actual software.
+
==Website-core projects==
 +
[[Website]]s are complex products, so are their production. For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''website-core projects'' refer to those [[website project]]s that are undertaken to develop the core of websites rather than their components such as [[#Public contents|Public contents]], [[#SEO efforts|SEO efforts]], and non-essential [[#WWW settings|WWW settings]]. Thus [[Website-Core Projects]] focus on developing the main structure and components of a  website.  
  
−
===Website-core projects===
+
Among [[#Website designs|Website designs]], [[CNMCyber Team]] classifies [[website IA]]s as the backbone of the website core, while [[graphic design]] and [[UX design]] as parts of [[Careerprise Funnel]].
−
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''website-core projects'' refer to the [[website project]]s that are undertaken to make a ''Cyber'' website one product. [[#Content projects|Content]], [[#Design projects|Design]], [[#SEO projects|SEO]], [[#Software projects|Software]], and [[#WWW projects|WWW projects]] shall deliver various parts of websites. [[#IA developments|IA developments]] shall produce their "skeletons" or "embryos" of their core. Then, website assemblies shall make one product out of all.
 
  
−
: Development of any website is rarely a simple and straightforward process. To emerge on the [[World Wide Web]] ([[World Wide Web|WWW]]), any website goes through various [[product state]]s.
+
===Website idea===
−
:# '''Website as an idea'''. Any website starts with an idea; it should be imagined first to be developed second. The first idea may be expressed in few words.
+
A new website starts with an idea; which can be expressed through words or sketches on [[ CNM Wiki]] platform uploaded there as files. These sketches serve as drafts for the websites overall structure known as the [[website IA]].
−
:# '''Website as a prototype'''. Before a website emerges on ''WWW'', it exists as its [[information architecture]]s (or [[information architecture|IA]]s). A separate section of this very wikipage, [[#Website IAs|Website IAs]] is dedicated to them.
 
−
:# '''Website as a MVP'''. In cases of ''Cyber'' website development, a [[minimum viable product]] ([[minimum viable product|MVP]]) is an early version of a future website that includes sufficient features to satisfy early adopters. To do so, the website shall have its [[hub webpage]]s, ''IA'' that would be implemented on its software and located on ''WWW''.
 
−
:# '''Website as a marketable'''. To serve a part of [[#The funnel|The funnel]], ''Cyber'' website shall possess those features that are developed in the [[#Content projects|Content]], [[#Design projects|Design]], [[#SEO projects|SEO]], [[#Software projects|Software]], and [[#WWW projects|WWW projects]].
 
  
−
===WWW projects===
+
===Wiki-based prototype===
−
: For the purposes of this very wikipage, ''WWW projects'' refer to the [[website project]]s that are undertaken to integrate ''Cyber'' websites into the [[World Wide Web]] ([[World Wide Web|WWW]]) securely.
+
: The [[CNMCyber Team]] utilizes [[CNM Wiki]] to develop early functional websites. Each webpage is represented by a separate Wikipage acting as a prototype. Internal site links shall be made manually. Titles of webpage prototypes on [[CNM Wiki]] shall have the webpage name starting with a capital letter between <code>[Domain-name]</code> and the word, <code>(prototype)</code> in parenthesis, for instance, [[CNMCyber.com About-us]]. The landing webpage is named "Home", for example, [[CNMCyber.com Home]]. All prototype pages belong to the <code>[Domain-name] Prototypes</code> category format under the [[:Category: Website Prototypes]].
−
:* '''[[DNS record]]s''' to locate ''Cyber'' websites within ''WWW''. DNS records' drafts are published at [[CNM Wiki]]; [[CNM System Administrator]]s use those results to update the actual website records. DNS records for [[CDN]]-based websites might be complex.
 
−
:* '''[[SSL certificate]]s''' to encrypt interactions between ''Cyber'' websites and their visitors.
 
−
:* '''[[Webserver]]s''' to direct external requests to internal resources. ''Cyber'' websites normally rely on [[Apache HTTP Server]] and/or [[Nginx]] servers. They may serve separately or in sequence ''Nginx'', as highly productive, first, and ''Apache'', as highly reliable, second.
 
  
−
==Website IAs==
+
===CMS-based prototype===
−
For the purposes of this very wikipage, [[information architecture]]s or [[IA]] are images, layouts, mockup models, outlines, [[prototype]]s, sketches, wireframes, and/or words that represent classification, organization, and structure of content and other information at ''Cyber'' websites or similar products. Similarly to [[UX design]], ''IA'' strives to enhance user satisfaction; ''IAs'' of ''Cyber'' products shall help to make them accessible, credible, desirable, findable, usable, useful, and valuable. Dissimilarly from [[UX design]], ''IA'' shall help the ''Cyber'' to achieve the [[#Cyber objectives|Cyber objectives]]. In simple words, ''IA'' shall balance benefits for the ''Cyber'' and its users.
+
: The [[CNMCyber Team]] utilizes [[content management system]]s like [[Educaship WordPress]] for website development. The ''Devs'' normally transfer website textual contents from [[CNM Wiki]] to a ''CMS''-based prototype. Placeholders are used for audiovisual elements that are not yet developed and [[lorem ipsum]] is used as a substitute for future texts.
  
−
===IA components===
+
===Website MVP===
−
: Key components of ''IA'' are:
+
: A [[minimum viable product]] is an early version of a [[CNMCyber website]] that includes enough features to satisfy early adopters. The ''Devs'' implement the [[website IA]] on a [[content management system|CMS ]] and make website accessible on [[World Wide Web|WWW]]. At this stage, [[Lorem ipsum]] shall no longer be used and audiovisual placeholders shall not look like construction pieces at the ''MVP'' stage of development.
−
:# '''Hierarchy''' of website and its webpages.
 
−
:# '''Roadmaps''' of every identified persona through the website.
 
−
:# '''Mockups''' of hub webpages at the [[websection box]] level.
 
−
:# '''Labels''' of groups of information for user orientation and, when used in sub-domain names, for [[search engine optimization]] ([[search engine optimization|SEO]]).
 
−
:# '''Navigations''' such as menus, breadcrumbs, and pagination.
 
−
:# '''Search tools''' that ensure findability of information.
 
  
−
===IA developments===
+
===Website marketable===
−
: No ''Cyber'' IA can be developed immediately and completely. It starts with a sketch to be gradually upgraded up to a prototype. The ''IA''-development projects closes when the [[#Customer|Customer]] approves the ''IA''. Development of ''IA'' is a:
+
: A [[CNMCyber website]] is designed to be marketable and contribute to the [[Careerprise Funnel]]. During the ''Practice'' phase, the ''Devs'' usually don't focus marketable aspects of the website. However, after completing the [[ Website Development]] quarter of the ''Bootcamp'', they can work on website marketability as [[Careerprise Contractors]].
−
:* Marketing project since the ''IA'' shall serve interests of both users and the ''Cyber''.
 
−
:* Creative project since [[acceptance criteria]] rarely can be defined; product and project certainties rarely can be reached before the development starts. That is why [[#Contractors|Contractors]] shall be hired on a per-hour basis. In the industry, the most qualified architects are normally hired to develop the most important ''IA'' components such as the menu structure and landing page mockup.
 
−
:* Prerequisite project that shall be finished before the contractors to develop a website as a [[marketable]] can be hired. As [[product depiction]]s, the outputs of the ''IA''-development project shall be used for graphic design, UX design, and website assemblies.
 
  
−
===Personas in IA===
+
==What Devs do==
−
: In [[marketing]], a ''persona'' is an imaginary product user that (a) represents a distinguishable type of customer and (b) has been created to design special appeals to that customer type while designing products.
+
In order to deliver [[#What Devs produce|What Devs produce]], the ''Devs'' are encouraged to follow the recommendations as follows.
  
−
: ''Cyber'' websites may serve a variety of customers. For instance, a school student and school principal may visit [[iDosvid.com]]. However, interests of the student differ from ones of the principal. Moreover, the [[#Team|Team]] would like the student to get enrolled into [[CNM Cyber Welcome Session]], while the [[#Team|Team]] would like the principal to contact ''Cyber'' administrators. So, their website roadmaps shall be different.
+
Developing a website is a unique project, and there are no final instructions that can be followed to achieve success since every [[website project]] is unique. If any [[project]] is no longer unique, it is no longer a project. It is an [[ongoing operation]].  However, there are some suggested blueprints that developers can follow. The following guide outlines the typical processes that developers follow, while following the DREPD patterns.
  
−
: [[Information architecture]]s (or [[Information architecture|IA]]s) shall serve all of its identified personas. If a subordinate IA serves one persona, and five personas are identified to be customers, the IA may be divided in one site-wide IA, which welcomes all of its customers and directs them to those webpages that are designed to serve specifically them and five separate subordinate IAs.
+
While following the [[#DREPD patterns|DREPD patterns]], the ''Devs<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' practice can be divided in sets of processes. Every of the [[#Projects|Projects]] shall start with :
 +
# [[#Discovering the issues|Discovering the issues]],- The first step in any project is discovering the issues that need to be addressed. This involves understanding the project requirements and identifying any potential problems.
 +
# Go through [[#Researching the grounds|Researching the grounds]], - Once the issues have been identified, developers must research the grounds to gain a deeper understanding of the problem. This can involve researching the target audience, competitors, and technology solutions.
 +
# [[#Envisioning the results|Envisioning the results]], - With a clear understanding of the project requirements and potential solutions, developers can begin envisioning the results. This involves creating a clear vision of what the final product will look like and how it will function.
 +
# [[#Planning the production|Planning the production]], - Once the vision has been established, developers can begin planning the production process. This involves breaking down the project into smaller, manageable tasks and creating a timeline for completion
 +
# [[#Doing to move forward|Doing to move forward]] activities - With a solid plan in place, developers can start the doing to move forward activities. This involves coding, designing, and testing the website.
  
−
==Website parts==
+
The [[DREPD]] cycle runs several times as the project deliverable progresses from a [[#Website idea|Website idea]] to a [[#Wiki-based prototype|Wiki-based prototype]], [[#CMS-based prototype|CMS-based prototype]], and, eventually, [[#Website MVP|Website MVP]]. After that, [[CNMCyber Coordinator]]s take over the website projects to hire [[Careerprise contractor]]s in order to develop [[#Website marketable|Website marketable]]s.
−
''Cyber'' websites are eventual deliverables from web-projects; however, website components need to be developed before any website can be assembled. Other deliverables include [[webpage]]s, [[webpage section]]s, [[websection box]]es, [[information architecture]]s, [[web design]]s, [[SEO strategy|SEO strategies]], as well as contents such as audiovisuals, images, multimedia, and texts.
 
  
−
[[Website]]s are not created equal; neither are their developments. It may take about a couple of hours to setup a simple website if its content is ready. On the contrary, some other websites cost more than a million dollars.
+
===Discovering the issues===
 +
: To initiate a [[website project]], the ''Devs'' shall understand the project requirements and identify any potential problems with the help of the steps below:
 +
:# '''Follow''' the [[#How to start|How to start]] for recommendations.
 +
:# '''Explore''' existing [[CNMCyber website]]s, their documentation at [[CNM Wiki]], other websites related to [[career service]]s that are available on the market.
 +
:# '''Compare''' existing [[CNMCyber website]]s, their documentation at [[CNM Wiki]], as well as other websites related to [[career service]]s that are available on the market to detect opportunities to help improve existing [[CNMCyber website]]s.
 +
:# '''Identify''' the [[business need]] that some [[CNMCyber website]] shall satisfy.
 +
:# '''Create''' a project wikipage called <code>[Domain-name] for CNMCyber page </code>, starting the identified ''need'', its reasoning and backgrounds by creating Purpose, Target audiences, Requirements (Business, Stakeholder's, Technical), States sections.
 +
:# '''Create''' a product wikipage called <code>[Domain-name]</code>, while starting describing the website by creating Design, Content, Prototypes, DNS records, SEO sections.
 +
:# '''Report''' on progress of the initial project discovery using the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
 +
:# '''Present''' the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly [[CNMCyber This Week]] meetings.
  
−
===Webpages===
+
: The initial project discovery ends when the [[business need]] is identified. New project discoveries belong to the [[#Doing to move forward|Doing to move forward]] activities.
−
: Any ''Cyber'' website is a collection of [[webpage]]s. At the ''Cyber'', those pages are divided in three categories:
 
−
:# '''[[Auxiliary webpage]]s''' are those that provide their visitors with supplemental services beyond essay information and hub navigation. Auxiliary pages include contact, error, and search pages, for instance.
 
−
:# '''[[Essay webpage]]s''' are those that cover one subject; they give the most complete information on a given topic that is available on that website.
 
−
:# '''[[Hub webpage]]s''' are those essential pages that lead their visitors to other pages or services, where ''essential'' means that the website cannot function properly without those pages. Every ''Cyber'' website has at least two ''hubs'' -- the authenticating and landing webpage.
 
  
−
===Websections===
+
===Researching the grounds===
−
: Any ''Cyber'' webpage is a collection of two or more [[webpage section]]s. That ''section'' shall emerge on one user's screen or, at least on the top of the screen, after their clicks on some menu tab or other button. Every ''Cyber'' webpage shall have its main and footer sections at very least.
+
: To start the initiated project, the ''Devs'' shall research the grounds to gain a deeper understanding of the problem with the help of the following steps:
 +
:# '''Study''' the website needs and project environments in some depth.
 +
:# '''Identify''' those sources, primarily [[stakeholder]]s and competitors, of information that can  be useful for website development.
 +
:# '''Evaluate''' what output, a [[#Website idea|Website idea]], a [[#Wiki-based prototype|Wiki-based prototype]], [[#CMS-based prototype|CMS-based prototype]], or [[#Website MVP|Website MVP]], is expected from the current efforts, as well as its status of completeness.
 +
:# '''Update''' the project and product wikipages, while linking the new data to the identified sources.
 +
:# '''Report''' on progress of the project studies using the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
 +
:# '''Present''' the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly [[CNMCyber This Week]] meetings.
  
−
: With regards to the purpose, websections may serve three purposes:
+
: The project studies start after the [[business need]] is identified. Product envisioning, project planning, production, as well as commissioning and management of a product always reveals new factors and data. That is why the studies end with the project closure.
−
:# '''[[Deal-closing websection]]s''' normally belong to online stores.
 
−
:# '''[[Lead-generation websection]]s''' normally belong to [[hub webpage]]s of [[#Featured|Featured]] websites and any page of [[#Traffic-generating|Traffic-generating]] websites.
 
−
:# '''[[Prospect-education websection]]s''' are normally headsections of [[essay webpage]]s of both [[#Featured|Featured]] and [[#Traffic-generating|Traffic-generating]] websites.
 
  
−
: A headsection is the most important for every webpage. ''Webpage sections'' present one or more [[websection box]]es. That box is the minimal rectangular element of [[webpage layout]]s that is distinguished from other rectangular parts both graphically and functionally. The headsection normally consists of a header and a box such as carousel, featured-image, grid, slider, or CTA (which stands for "call-to-action"). The headsection may also include a sidebar.
+
===Envisioning the results===
 +
: To plan the researched project, the ''Devs'' shall begin envisioning the results by  creating a clear vision of what the final product will look like and how it will function using the steps below as a guide:
 +
:# '''Identify''' those target audiences who are supposed to use future deliverables.
 +
:# '''Create''' imaginary personas that would represent each of the identified audience.
 +
:# '''Produce''' [[stakeholder requirement]]s for each created persona using [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
:# '''Conceive''' what the solutions should look like.
 +
:# '''Describe''' the solution or solutions using [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
:# '''Report''' on progress of the product description using the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
 +
:# '''Present''' the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly [[CNMCyber This Week]] meetings.
  
−
==Documents==
+
:The product description efforts shall start when [[business need]]s are identified and end when a [[#Sprint|Sprint]] of the product wikipage development is completed.
  
−
===Status reports===
+
===Planning the production===
−
: While working on the deliverable, the ''Devs'' are expected to report their project status. In [[CNM Agile]] framework, these statuses are reported at the product line wikipage, [[CNM Cloud Usable]], using the following readiness levels for each [[#Product states|Product state]] and [[#Devices of certainty|Device of certainty]]:
+
: To execute the project plan, the ''Devs'' shall begin planning the production process by breaking down the project into smaller, manageable tasks and creating a timeline for completion with the help of the steps below:
−
:* '''[[Not started status|Not started]]'''. Project work on the corresponding [[#Product states|Product state]] and [[#Devices of certainty|Device of certainty]] hasn't started yet.
+
:# '''Examine''' the existing products that are going to be further developed if they are available.
−
:* '''[[In progress status|In progress]]'''. Project work on the corresponding [[#Product states|Product state]] and [[#Devices of certainty|Device of certainty]] has been started, but the state/device has not yet been submitted for the approval.
+
:# '''Analyze''' the collected project data while organizing that data on [[CNM Wiki]].
−
:* '''[[Cancel status|Cancel]]'''. Project work on the corresponding [[#Product states|Product state]] and [[#Devices of certainty|Device of certainty]] has been cancelled.
+
:# '''Formulate''' the difference between what actually is and what is needed to be. The existing products are what actually is, while the specified deliverable is what is needed to be. The project activities shall address this identified difference; they represent what needs to be done.
−
:* '''[[Submitted status|Submitted]]'''. Project work on the corresponding [[#Product states|Product state]] and [[#Devices of certainty|Device of certainty]] has been submitted for the approval.
+
:# '''Decide''' how the imagined solution should be developed.
−
:* '''[[Done status|Done]]'''. Project work on the corresponding [[#Product states|Product state]] and [[#Devices of certainty|Device of certainty]] has been approved. With exceptions of the [[state of certainty]], the [[#Customer|Customer]] approves the status. With regard to the [[state of certainty]], its approval also requires the developer's consent.
+
:# '''Draft''' a plan of actions that need to be undertaken in order to execute the development decisions.
 +
:# '''Publish''' the project plan on [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
:# '''Report''' on progress of the project planning using the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
 +
:# '''Present''' the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly [[CNMCyber This Week]] meetings.
  
−
===Wikipages===
+
: The project planning efforts shall start no later than completion of product wikipage's [[#Sprint|Sprint]] and end when a [[#Sprint|Sprint]] of the project wikipage development is completed.
−
: At [[CNM Wiki]], ''Cyber'' endeavors are documented using two types of wikipages:
 
−
:# The progress on particular endeavors is reported at the [[CNM Cloud Usable]] wikipage.
 
−
:# Endeavor pages document everything, but progress reports. Those pages are listed at the [[:Category:CNM Cyber endeavors|"CNM Cyber endeavors" category]] and include [[project document]]s such as [[project charter]], [[asset register]], [[competency register]], [[stakeholder register]], [[requirements traceability matrix]], [[project scope baseline]], [[project schedule baseline]], [[project cost baseline]], and [[acceptance criteria]].
 
  
−
==The Cyber==
+
===Doing to move forward===
−
[[CNM Cyber]] (hereinafter, the ''Cyber'') is a collection of [[career service]]s that include (a) [[information technology]] called [[CNM Cloud]], as well as (b) support for apprenticeships, internships, and jobs that are organized at the ''Cloud'' specifically or the ''Cyber'' generally.
+
: To start a new [[DREPD]] cycle, the ''Devs'' shall  start the doing to move forward activities. This involves coding, designing, and testing the website with the help of the steps below:
 +
:# '''Act''' on the plan while doing what is planned such as creating prototypes, producing components, etc.
 +
:# '''Test''' the deliverable and, if necessary, its parts.
 +
:# '''Observe''' real situations, while detecting what hasn't been expected.
 +
:# '''Collect''' data related to the deliverables under development and their production.
 +
:# '''Analyze''' the collected project data while organizing that data on [[CNM Wiki]].
 +
:# '''Re-identify''' the website need, while discovering new wills. Since new data shall emerge while doing and/or after getting something done, that new discovery shall start a new [[DREPD]] cycle.
 +
:# '''Treat''' creation of deliverables as primary source of data to revisit the [[#Researching the grounds|Researching the grounds]] activities.
 +
:# '''Revisit''' the [[#Researching the grounds|Researching the grounds]] activities when new data or new sources of data emerges in order to revisit further the [[#Envisioning the results|Envisioning the results]] and [[#Planning the production|Planning the production]] activities.
 +
:# '''Report''' on progress of the plan executing using the [[CNM Website Projects]] wikipage.
 +
:# '''Present''' the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly[[CNMCyber This Week]] meetings.
  
−
===Customer===
+
:''Devs'' can create prototypes using this plan:
−
: The customer provides requirements for future products and pays project budgets. In simple words, the customer orders products and pays for their production. The work of the ''Dev'' is paid insofar as it is part of the development of the product. The customer implies that the ''Dev'' works out projects in accordance with the instructions set out on this wikipage. Out of the goodness of heart and for professional training purposes, the customer may do the work of the ''Dev'' temporarily as long as the customer believes that the ''Dev'' will someday be able to work independently.
+
:# Create a separate wiki page for each section of this wiki page, such as <code>[Domain-name] content</code>, <code>[Domain-name] design</code>.
 +
:# On the <code>[Domain-name] content</code> page, create the future possible website pages and their sections, such as the Landing page, Header, Footer, About us section, Our offers section, etc.  
 +
:# A new wikipage is also created for each section, how to name them and what a category to create, read [[CNM Website Developer#Wiki-based prototype|here]].
 +
:# Also, each section should have a description of the expected design and page format the same as the content. To see roughly what this design format should look like, visit [[iDosvid.com design]].
 +
:# Design is a big part of website development, and can be considered a separate project, so the design page should also have sections of Requirements (Business, Stakeholder's, Technical) and States.
 +
:# To visualize the result described in the wiki, you need to transfer website textual content from CNM Wiki to a CMS-based prototype. Placeholders shall be used for those audiovisuals that haven't been developed yet; lorem ipsum shall be used to substitute future texts. Detailed instructions on CMS will be written separately for each CMS.
 +
::At this stage, you can work in a team with other developers or coordinators. And you need to discuss requirements and preferences for content and design with the customer.
  
−
===Objectives===
+
: The project execution efforts shall start no later than completion of project wikipage's [[#Sprint|Sprint]] and end when the [[CNMCyber website]] becomes a [[market exchangeable]]. The ''Devs'' though progress websites to only [[minimum viable product]]s ([[minimum viable product|MVP]]s).
−
:* ''Cyber's'' mission is to build a single-window platform that would responsibly and sustainably provide everyone with a wide range of career services.
 
  
−
===Team===
+

A CNM Website Developer (hereinafter, the Dev) is an incumbent of the scholar-tier CNMCyber practice (hereinafter, the Practice) that The Economic Group has developed to practically introduce CNMCyber patrons to website projects. The Devs specialize in the development of CNMCyber websites, including designing and developing website contents, information architectures, SEO, software, and WWW settings.

The Practice is part of the Website Developer Bootcamp (hereinafter, the Bootcamp), which is the second quarter of CNMCyber Bootcamps. The lessons in this quarter are specifically designed to prepare Devs for the Practice.

The Practice is offered to those KSA Certified Event Organizers who successfully pass CNM Website Development Exam after taking the Bootcamp's lessons. By successfully completing of the website development practice, the Residents become KSA Certified Website Developers.

As the Dev, you will have the opportunity to work on real-world Website Projects and gain hands-on experience. Our program offers comprehensive training that equips you with the skills and knowledge to succeed in the field of Website Development. Join us today and kick-start your career in Website Development.


Career objectives in Website Development

If you're interested in pursuing a career in Website Development, there are many challenges to overcome and credentials to earn. However, with the right knowledge, you can pave the way to a successful career in this exciting field.

Credentials

As a result of the Practice, the Devs shall obtain the following professional credentials:

KSAs

At our program ,we focus on helping you acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) you need to succeed in Website Development .

Further paths

Upon graduation from the Practice, the Devs are recommended to choose one or more of the following options:
  1. Continue with other CNMCyber practice, while becoming a CNM Event Organizer.
  2. Decide to concentrate on specific website development professions, possibly, mentioned in the Occupations section.
  3. Work on own projects.

Occupation

A website developer can be defined as anyone who develops websites; nevertheless, such a position rarely exists in the real workplace. Some companies call web developers "website developers". In the meanwhile "classic" web development targets software, while website development doesn't imply software only.
The Dev's Practice touches many occupations. They may include one or more of the following:
  • Architecture and design such as Human Factors Engineers and Ergonomists, Information Architects, as well as Web and Digital Interface Designers as long as the Devs design website contents, interfaces, and structures, this could be the right path for you.
  • Content creation such as Producers and Directors, Proofreaders and Copy Markers, as well as Writers and Authors as long as the Devs create website contents such as graphics, multimedia, and texts, this could be the right path for you.
  • Technology development such as Architectural and Engineering Managers, Software Developers, as well as Web Developers as long as the Devs work with the technologies behind the website, this could be the right path for you.
  • Web-search marketing as Search Marketing Strategists as long as the Devs work on search engine optimization (SEO), this could b the right path for you.
Upon their graduation from the Practice, the Devs may choose to concentrate on one or more of the real professions listed above.

No matter which path you choose, our program can help you acquire the KSAs you need to succeed. Join us today and start your journey towards a rewarding career in Website Development.

Website Development Position and Practice Choices

As aDev your main responsibility is to undertake website projects to develop CNMCyber websites. To learn about benefits, competencies, history, supervision, and target audiences, please consult the CNMCyber practice wikipage.

Choice of practice

By default, the Devs choose Projects that suit them best. The Devs can choose between:
In addition, CNMCyber Project Managers may ask a Dev to take an urgent or specific project when they understand the Dev's professional capacity. Particularly, that means that the Devs have to choose their first project at least.

Goals and objectives

Each particular Dev establishes their own goals and objectives based on their Career objectives and What Devs produce requirements.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out, our program can help you achieve your goals and develop the skills you need to succeed in Website Development. This means that the Devs have to choose their first project at least.

How to start

Are you interested in getting started as the Dev? Please follow the step-by-step instructions:
  1. Until Website Developer Bootcamp is fully developed, briefly review the following wikipages:
    1. This very wikipage, it describes your website development Practice specifically,
    2. CNMCyber practice, it describes your Practice generally,
    3. Website project, this describes those projects that could be undertaken to develop websites, not specific to your Practice, but your Practice can correlate to them,
    4. CNMCyber website, it describes the websites you are about to develop, and
    5. CNM Website Projects, it describes those projects that are authorized to practice with.
    Those wikipage contents are neither intuitive nor user-friendly yet; however, if you cannot read them, you cannot work.
  2. Ask questions. Questions are a huge part of your work; if you cannot ask, you cannot work. If you prefer videoconferences, attend any CNMCyber This Week event. You will have opportunities to ask questions and get responses in real time.
  3. Study this very and CNMCyber practice wikipages in details to be ready to discuss two topics: a). what paragraph is left unclear and b) what section can be taken out without causing significant damage. You will be offered to discuss those topics during your job interview. Why? If you don't know your job, you cannot work.
  4. Be prepared to learn while practicing. For instance, CNM Wiki is one of the Dev's primary tools. The lectios of CNMCyber that cover usage of that wiki include What CNM Wiki Is, Collaboration on Documents, Functions of Wiki, and CNM Wiki at Cyber. However, they cannot cover all that the Devs need. At the same time, the World Wide Web (WWW) contains additional resources for MediaWiki, which is the software behind CNM Wiki. The Devs face similar challenges while learning about DNS, website IA, WordPress, as well as other tools and knowledge frameworks that the CNMCyber Team utilizes in website development.
  5. If you are willing to be paid, understand why the Cyber project is undertaken and what value is expected from the Dev. That's simple. If you cannot deliver what CNMCyber Customer pays for, you cannot work. Everything that CNMCyber Customer pays for is stated on this very wikipage.
  6. Wait for 2-3 months if you cannot understand what your objectives are. There is a chance that the course and/or videos will be developed out of this wikipage during that time. The introductory courses will be available at https://cert.cnmcyber.com after registering at https://opplet.net/user/register ; the videos will be published on CNM Tube and YouTube. Some of course wiki-materials are linked to WorldOpp Orientation, EmployableU Concepts, and CNMCyber Bootcamps wikipages.
  7. At the CNM Website Projects wikipage, pick up the project you would like to practice with. You may have no idea what that particular project is about. First of all, no project is fully clear and, secondly, to learn about one project is always simpler than to learn about many. When you diligently study this very wikipage and understand what your objectives are, you should know how to go about that project. If you cannot pick your project, you cannot start working as the Dev.
  8. Present your pick during a CNMCyber This Week event, while stating (a) the project you picked, (b) what you plan to deliver, and (c) how much time you expect to work in order to deliver what you plan to deliver.
  9. Wait for CNMCyber Customer's approval or feedback to start your Practice this week or modify your proposal.

Tools

  • Inplz Page; every learner shall have their Educaship WordPress instance to play with. At the same time, we will need to clarify the website builder to include into Educaship WordPress. We are also looking at WordPress Gutenberg.
  • CNM Lab is a file repository within Opplet.
  • CNM Corp includes a tool that the Devs shall use in order to report their time spent on the Practice.
  • CNM Wiki is the primary tool for website projects generally and development of website ideas, contents, and wiki-based prototypes specifically.
  • One more COTS package shall be added for cnmcyber.com landing. Our production instance of Educaship WordPress would be CNM Page, but we need to use something simpler for the landing at cnmcyber.com. We look at Ghost, which is written with NodeJS, and, possibly, Grav, which is really lightweight.

What Devs produce

Most importantly, the Devs are expected to achieve their Career objectives and acquire other personal benefits as their result of the Practice. As a part of CNMCyber Team, the Devs are expected to produce measurable outputs in two categories, website deliverables and work documents:
  1. Website deliverables, which are those CNMCyber websites, their components, and other CNMCyber products that the Devs are able to produce. CNMCyber Coordinators will further utilize to develop the very CNMCyber websites that the particular Dev practices with.
  2. Work documents, which are those documents that support website developments. Particularly, they include those requirements that would allow hiring Careerprise contractors to develop those CNMCyber websites that the Devs don't produce directly, on their own.
In other words, there are no expectations of the Dev's achievements of their own Career objectives. CNMCyber Team expects the Devs to deliver either (a) website components or (b) the documents that would allow those components to produce. The Devs stop practicing with CNMCyber websites and work documents after their delivery. CNMCyber Coordinators further take over their development.
In addition, the Devs may be offered to develop CNMCyber products other than CNMCyber websites. For instance, development of this very wikipage is also a project that the Dev may take on. However, the main focus is on producing deliverables and work documents for CNMCyber websites.

Work documents

Generally speaking, a document is a separate piece that (a) presents data, (b) is composed of texts and/or images, and (c) can further be edited or revised. A document that can no longer be revised, for instance, a transcript of a meeting that has already ended or a statement of work that a contractor has already agreed on, becomes a record.

For the purposes of this wikipage, work documents shall refer to those documents which target the general public regardless of whether those documents are available to the public or not.

The work documents are or might be utilized by one or more of the following audiences:

  1. A particular Dev who practices with a particular CNMCyber website shall use the work documents for the development process and reports.
  2. Dev's mentors shall use the work documents to assess the Dev's progress and his or her readiness to move further.
  3. The other Devs, who will work on other websites in the future, may further utilize it in their Practice as prototypes and training materials.
  4. CNMCyber Coordinators shall use some work documents to hire Careerprise contractors in order to develop what the Devs are not able to develop on their own.

In addition, the Devs may practice with those public documents such as website texts that belong to the Public contents. As work products of the Devs, documents shall be published at CNM Wiki.

Product wikipages

For the purposes of this very wikipage, product wikipages refer to descriptions of CNMCyber websites, as well as deliverable requirements, organizational and technical documentation such as standing operating procedures (SOPs), minutes of the meetings, testing and other reports, etc. Those pages are listed at the "CNMCyber Websites" category

Project wikipages

At CNM Wiki, Projects are documented using two types of wikipages:
  1. The progress on particular projects is reported on the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
  2. Project pages document everything, but progress reports. Those pages are listed at the "CNM Website Projects" category and include project documents such as project charter, asset register, competency register, stakeholder register, requirements traceability matrix, project scope baseline, project schedule baseline, project cost baseline, and acceptance criteria, as well as those communications, memos, meetings, etc. that are related to developments of CNMCyber websites.

Website deliverables

For the purposes of this wikipage, website deliverables refer to those work products that the Devs deliver to CNMCyber Team for further use as cores of CNMCyber websites, their components, or new features of existing websites.

The Devs shall aim to create one or more of the following website deliverables: (a) Public contents, (b) SEO efforts, (c) Website designs, (d) WWW settings, and, finally, (e) System-based websites.

Public contents

For the purposes of this wikipage, public contents refer to those audiovisuals, graphics, and texts that the website visitors shall be able to read, see, and/or hear. As work products of the Devs, texts shall be published at CNM Wiki, while audiovisuals and graphics shall be stored at CNM Lab.

SEO efforts

For the purposes of this wikipage, SEO efforts refer to those action plans that shall improve website's search engine optimization (SEO). As work products of the Devs, action plans shall be published at CNM Wiki.

System-based websites

For the purposes of this wikipage, system-based websites refer to those websites that are powered by one or more content management systems (CMSs). The websites may represent prototypes, minimal viable products (MVPs), or parts of Careerprise Funnel. As work products of the Devs, websites shall be hosted at Opplet.

Website designs

For the purposes of this wikipage, website designs refer to those depictions that represent current or future website's appearance, including single webpages and website IAs overall. As work products of the Devs, final depictions shall be stored at CNM Lab; their thumbs and sketches may emerge at CNM Wiki.

WWW settings

For the purposes of this wikipage, WWW settings refer to those scripts of DNS record, lines of web server files, and hosting details that are necessary for the website to be accessible on the World Wide Web (WWW). As work products of the Devs, scripts, lines, and details shall be published at CNM Wiki.

Projects

Generally, a project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique work product. They aim to solve a problem and the resulting output. The work product that is created to deliver to its customer is called a deliverable.

On this wikipage, projects specifically refer to those website projects that are undertaken to create What Devs produce. The Devs's deliverables include Website deliverables and Work documents. While working on projects, the Devs are engaged in the What Devs do activities as discussed above.

Authorized projects

Those Projects that are authorized to practice with are listed on the CNM Website Projects wikipage.

DREPD patterns

Main wikipage: DREPD patterns represent the steps in a projects progression.
Although no single straightforward pattern of project advancement efforts, various developments tend to be cyclical. As an example, letters in the DREPD cycle represent five steps:
  1. D for "Discovering the issues". To initiate a project, the Devs shall identify the website need that they would like to satisfy. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with a situation in which someone realizes that he or she needs a better Internet access.
  2. R for "Researching the grounds". To start the initiated project, the Devs shall study the website needs and work environments in some depth. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's search for available Internet service provider's offers after he or she realized that they need to improve their Internet access.
  3. E for "Envisioning the results". To plan the researched project, the Devs shall imagine what the solutions should look like. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's decision what Internet access they are willing to purchase.
  4. P for "Planning the production". To execute the project plan, the Devs shall decide how the imagined solution should be developed. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's plans for how they purchase the needed Internet access and how they pay for it.
  5. D for "Doing to move forward". To start a new DREPD cycle, the Devs shall act on the plan, observe real situations, and re-identify the website need. Actually, the action verbs in that step starts with D; do what is planned, detect what hasn't been expected, and discover new wills. That new discovery may start a new cycle; new data shall emerge while doing and/or after getting something done. Outside of website development, we can compare this step with someone's purchase of Internet access and getting lessons learned in order to make the next purchase better.
This cycle or, to be more exact, cycle of cycles, can be applied to various types of developments, including audiovisuals, minimum viable products (MVPs), textual contents, prototypes, and website IA.
In the meanwhile, the Devs are encouraged to apply at least one DREPD cycle to every task mentioned in the What Devs do section above.

Project variety

Main wikipage: Website project
The website project wikipage presents a general, not specific to the Cyber, variety of website development endeavors.

Sprint

In CNM Agile, a sprint refers to the completion of DREPD cycles that lead to a desirable deliverable work-product state. One sprint typically lasts for 3-5 weeks.

Projects of projects

Problem, solution, and project

Any authentic website is a unique deliverable by itself. A Website is made up of of different elements like audiovisuals, designs, DNS records, images, and texts, each of these elements needs to be developed and delivered before the website can be launched.

So, a bigger deliverable, which is a website in that case, is an aggregate of several smaller deliverables. Therefore, the website development consists of many projects. Several projects shall be undertaken in order to develop one website; several projects shall also be undertaken in order to develop each website component.

The Devs normally practice with those projects that are listed on the CNM Website Projects wikipage; however, the Devs can also propose and initiate other other projects.

Problem recognition

To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:

Marie a Dev, noticed that the landing screen of your website needs some background. After researching the requirements, she came up with a solution involving drawing. Marie is now working on a project to implement this solution. Marie describes the future video. She is not a graphic designer, but she may create a sketch or just describe that drawing in order to help CNMCyber Coordinators hire needed designers.

Solution idea

To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:
Tnya aDev, found a problem with the landing screen of the kryvi.com website which needs some background. Tanya researched the constraints and came up with a solution by creating a drawing. Now, she is undertaking the solution idea project while planning for that drawing to be created. Tanya is not a graphic artist, but she is sketching and describing that drawing in order to help CNMCyber Coordinators hire needed designers.

Solution development

To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:

  1. Solution development project. Nadia is a graphic artist and is seeking opportunities in her field. While working as the Dev, she discovered CNMCyber's need to have a drawing for their kryvi.com website's landing screen. Nadia carefully reviewed available sketches and descriptions. To understand the constraints, Nadia attended a Careerprise conference. She was directed to the standing operating procedure (SOP) that described CNMCyber's policies and requirements related to image acquisitions. Particularly, Nadia found out that the drawings shall be submitted to CNM Lab in the SVG format. Then, Nadia envisioned the desired deliverable. After that, Nadia planned for her drawing to be created. Specifically, she decided how she would draw the solution and submit it as a deliverable and estimated her time commitment. Nadia proposed her plan to CNMCyber Coordinators and was hired as a Careerprise contractor in addition to her Dev role. Now, Nadia is undertaking the solution development project while creating the drawing in order to deliver it to CNMCyber Coordinators.

Solution deployment

To demonstrate how it may work, let's take the following hypothetical scenario:

Anna a Dev, identified a problem with landing screen of your website requires a background. After researching the constraints, Anna envisioned some drawing as the solution for that problem. Now, she is undertaking the solution idea project while planning for that drawing to be created. She describes the future video. Although not a graphic designer, Anna can either create a sketch or describe that drawing in order to help CNMCyber Coordinators hire needed designers.

Website-core projects

Websites are complex products, so are their production. For the purposes of this very wikipage, website-core projects refer to those website projects that are undertaken to develop the core of websites rather than their components such as Public contents, SEO efforts, and non-essential WWW settings. Thus Website-Core Projects focus on developing the main structure and components of a website.

Among Website designs, CNMCyber Team classifies website IAs as the backbone of the website core, while graphic design and UX design as parts of Careerprise Funnel.

Website idea

A new website starts with an idea; which can be expressed through words or sketches on CNM Wiki platform uploaded there as files. These sketches serve as drafts for the websites overall structure known as the website IA.

Wiki-based prototype

The CNMCyber Team utilizes CNM Wiki to develop early functional websites. Each webpage is represented by a separate Wikipage acting as a prototype. Internal site links shall be made manually. Titles of webpage prototypes on CNM Wiki shall have the webpage name starting with a capital letter between [Domain-name] and the word, (prototype) in parenthesis, for instance, CNMCyber.com About-us. The landing webpage is named "Home", for example, CNMCyber.com Home. All prototype pages belong to the [Domain-name] Prototypes category format under the Category: Website Prototypes.

CMS-based prototype

The CNMCyber Team utilizes content management systems like Educaship WordPress for website development. The Devs normally transfer website textual contents from CNM Wiki to a CMS-based prototype. Placeholders are used for audiovisual elements that are not yet developed and lorem ipsum is used as a substitute for future texts.

Website MVP

A minimum viable product is an early version of a CNMCyber website that includes enough features to satisfy early adopters. The Devs implement the website IA on a CMS and make website accessible on WWW. At this stage, Lorem ipsum shall no longer be used and audiovisual placeholders shall not look like construction pieces at the MVP stage of development.

Website marketable

A CNMCyber website is designed to be marketable and contribute to the Careerprise Funnel. During the Practice phase, the Devs usually don't focus marketable aspects of the website. However, after completing the Website Development quarter of the Bootcamp, they can work on website marketability as Careerprise Contractors.

What Devs do

In order to deliver What Devs produce, the Devs are encouraged to follow the recommendations as follows.

Developing a website is a unique project, and there are no final instructions that can be followed to achieve success since every website project is unique. If any project is no longer unique, it is no longer a project. It is an ongoing operation. However, there are some suggested blueprints that developers can follow. The following guide outlines the typical processes that developers follow, while following the DREPD patterns.

While following the DREPD patterns, the Devs' practice can be divided in sets of processes. Every of the Projects shall start with :

  1. Discovering the issues,- The first step in any project is discovering the issues that need to be addressed. This involves understanding the project requirements and identifying any potential problems.
  2. Go through Researching the grounds, - Once the issues have been identified, developers must research the grounds to gain a deeper understanding of the problem. This can involve researching the target audience, competitors, and technology solutions.
  3. Envisioning the results, - With a clear understanding of the project requirements and potential solutions, developers can begin envisioning the results. This involves creating a clear vision of what the final product will look like and how it will function.
  4. Planning the production, - Once the vision has been established, developers can begin planning the production process. This involves breaking down the project into smaller, manageable tasks and creating a timeline for completion
  5. Doing to move forward activities - With a solid plan in place, developers can start the doing to move forward activities. This involves coding, designing, and testing the website.

The DREPD cycle runs several times as the project deliverable progresses from a Website idea to a Wiki-based prototype, CMS-based prototype, and, eventually, Website MVP. After that, CNMCyber Coordinators take over the website projects to hire Careerprise contractors in order to develop Website marketables.

Discovering the issues

To initiate a website project, the Devs shall understand the project requirements and identify any potential problems with the help of the steps below:
  1. Follow the How to start for recommendations.
  2. Explore existing CNMCyber websites, their documentation at CNM Wiki, other websites related to career services that are available on the market.
  3. Compare existing CNMCyber websites, their documentation at CNM Wiki, as well as other websites related to career services that are available on the market to detect opportunities to help improve existing CNMCyber websites.
  4. Identify the business need that some CNMCyber website shall satisfy.
  5. Create a project wikipage called [Domain-name] for CNMCyber page , starting the identified need, its reasoning and backgrounds by creating Purpose, Target audiences, Requirements (Business, Stakeholder's, Technical), States sections.
  6. Create a product wikipage called [Domain-name], while starting describing the website by creating Design, Content, Prototypes, DNS records, SEO sections.
  7. Report on progress of the initial project discovery using the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
  8. Present the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly CNMCyber This Week meetings.
The initial project discovery ends when the business need is identified. New project discoveries belong to the Doing to move forward activities.

Researching the grounds

To start the initiated project, the Devs shall research the grounds to gain a deeper understanding of the problem with the help of the following steps:
  1. Study the website needs and project environments in some depth.
  2. Identify those sources, primarily stakeholders and competitors, of information that can be useful for website development.
  3. Evaluate what output, a Website idea, a Wiki-based prototype, CMS-based prototype, or Website MVP, is expected from the current efforts, as well as its status of completeness.
  4. Update the project and product wikipages, while linking the new data to the identified sources.
  5. Report on progress of the project studies using the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
  6. Present the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly CNMCyber This Week meetings.
The project studies start after the business need is identified. Product envisioning, project planning, production, as well as commissioning and management of a product always reveals new factors and data. That is why the studies end with the project closure.

Envisioning the results

To plan the researched project, the Devs shall begin envisioning the results by creating a clear vision of what the final product will look like and how it will function using the steps below as a guide:
  1. Identify those target audiences who are supposed to use future deliverables.
  2. Create imaginary personas that would represent each of the identified audience.
  3. Produce stakeholder requirements for each created persona using CNM Wiki.
  4. Conceive what the solutions should look like.
  5. Describe the solution or solutions using CNM Wiki.
  6. Report on progress of the product description using the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
  7. Present the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly CNMCyber This Week meetings.
The product description efforts shall start when business needs are identified and end when a Sprint of the product wikipage development is completed.

Planning the production

To execute the project plan, the Devs shall begin planning the production process by breaking down the project into smaller, manageable tasks and creating a timeline for completion with the help of the steps below:
  1. Examine the existing products that are going to be further developed if they are available.
  2. Analyze the collected project data while organizing that data on CNM Wiki.
  3. Formulate the difference between what actually is and what is needed to be. The existing products are what actually is, while the specified deliverable is what is needed to be. The project activities shall address this identified difference; they represent what needs to be done.
  4. Decide how the imagined solution should be developed.
  5. Draft a plan of actions that need to be undertaken in order to execute the development decisions.
  6. Publish the project plan on CNM Wiki.
  7. Report on progress of the project planning using the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
  8. Present the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weekly CNMCyber This Week meetings.
The project planning efforts shall start no later than completion of product wikipage's Sprint and end when a Sprint of the project wikipage development is completed.

Doing to move forward

To start a new DREPD cycle, the Devs shall start the doing to move forward activities. This involves coding, designing, and testing the website with the help of the steps below:
  1. Act on the plan while doing what is planned such as creating prototypes, producing components, etc.
  2. Test the deliverable and, if necessary, its parts.
  3. Observe real situations, while detecting what hasn't been expected.
  4. Collect data related to the deliverables under development and their production.
  5. Analyze the collected project data while organizing that data on CNM Wiki.
  6. Re-identify the website need, while discovering new wills. Since new data shall emerge while doing and/or after getting something done, that new discovery shall start a new DREPD cycle.
  7. Treat creation of deliverables as primary source of data to revisit the Researching the grounds activities.
  8. Revisit the Researching the grounds activities when new data or new sources of data emerges in order to revisit further the Envisioning the results and Planning the production activities.
  9. Report on progress of the plan executing using the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
  10. Present the progress, plans and possible concerns during the weeklyCNMCyber This Week meetings.
Devs can create prototypes using this plan:
  1. Create a separate wiki page for each section of this wiki page, such as [Domain-name] content, [Domain-name] design.
  2. On the [Domain-name] content page, create the future possible website pages and their sections, such as the Landing page, Header, Footer, About us section, Our offers section, etc.
  3. A new wikipage is also created for each section, how to name them and what a category to create, read here.
  4. Also, each section should have a description of the expected design and page format the same as the content. To see roughly what this design format should look like, visit iDosvid.com design.
  5. Design is a big part of website development, and can be considered a separate project, so the design page should also have sections of Requirements (Business, Stakeholder's, Technical) and States.
  6. To visualize the result described in the wiki, you need to transfer website textual content from CNM Wiki to a CMS-based prototype. Placeholders shall be used for those audiovisuals that haven't been developed yet; lorem ipsum shall be used to substitute future texts. Detailed instructions on CMS will be written separately for each CMS.
At this stage, you can work in a team with other developers or coordinators. And you need to discuss requirements and preferences for content and design with the customer.
The project execution efforts shall start no later than completion of project wikipage's Sprint and end when the CNMCyber website becomes a market exchangeable. The Devs though progress websites to only minimum viable products (MVPs).
To get a website as an Minimum viable product, Devs can:
  1. Contact the coordinators to hire people, for those projects that you or your fellow developers can't do yourself after the prototyping project, mostly designers.
  2. Work on software that powers websites, when in your and the customer's opinion, the design and content are ready. If you know HTML5, CSS and JavaScript or have a good knowledge of some CMS - you can do it yourself. Or you can ask the coordinators to hire a Frontend Developer.
  3. Manage SEO and integrate the website into the WWW. Here you also have options to do it yourself or hire a specialist.
