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

The key developments could be summarized as follows. The Team:

1. Identified:
   • Business needs. These needs are expressed in User stories;
   • System architecture including the core package of technology that would support User stories;

Challenges

Lack of procurement documentation is still the primary obstacle for the Project to move forward faster. There are a plenty of developers ready to implement technical requirements, but those requirements are needed to be documented. If some backup has been de-facto implemented, the state of cyber-security is either inappropriate or unknown.

Vacancies

Neither education nor experience is needed for the vacancies listed below. Full-time (at least, 40 hours a week) availability and willingness to learn on the job (and any learning includes so-called "errors" and "mistakes") are absolute musts. Since English language is the primary medium at Friends Of CNM, some level of English capacity is needed as well.

• Urgently needed. Any assistance with documentation published at CNM Wiki for upcoming procurement or topics related to procurement of CNM Wikiware, CNM Certware, CNM Labware, CNM Pageware, CNM Servers is urgently needed. These topics may include any information on what needs to be done, how to select the best Careerprise contractor, and how to make sure that the chosen contractor has delivered the requested product.
• Needed on an ongoing basis. As always, the Team is hiring staffers of WorldOpp Fellow Staff generally and CNM Cloud Project Coordinator specifically to expedite the Project.
