What CNM Agile Is

What CNM Agile Is (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the lesson part of the Digital Transformations lesson that introduces its participants to the development of CNM Cyber. This lesson belongs to the Introduction to CNM Cyber session of the CNM Cyber Welcome Course.

CNM Agile. A product development framework that represents an adaption of the Agile methodology to the learning and testing needs of the CNM Cyber Team.

Project management. Practice and a set of concepts that are based on that practice that define culture of managing of projects from the moment when the project manager is authorized and up to the project closing. Project management aims to achieve specific goals and to meet specific success criteria. This management often has a defined beginning (often, constituted by funding) and ending (often, constituted by bringing desired deliverables to their beneficiary).
Agile methodology. A product development framework that is based on development of deliverable increments in frequent iterations based on evolving requirements.

Development hub. A center of development in which two or more developing parties work on one or more deliverables.

Document. A single piece of data that represents one or more ideas, changes, processes, products, and/or systems. Those documents that are created to be used by people include bills of sale, books, instructions, memos, messages, national constitutions, passports, wikipages, written articles, etc. In information technology, a document can be a computer file or a system document such as a database record. Web browsers use web documents to display webpages, etc.
Computer file (digital file). Any document that is created as a computer resource and is stored discretely in a computing device.
Software. One or more computer files that present the data and programs that make the computing device produce specified results.

To work on CNM Cyber, its team has developed its own CNM Agile framework. Any Agile methodology is based on development of deliverable increments in frequent iterations based on evolving requirements.

CNM Agile is adjusted to take into consideration the volunteer involvement and virtual nature of the CNM Cyber Workforce. This framework features virtual CNM Cyber standups, heavy documentation and usage of development hubs.

The development of CNM Cyber occurs in two hubs, which divide the development in two phases:

At CNM Wiki, the CNM Cyber Team creates the requirements that reflect what needs to be developed. These requirements include product epics, epic stories, user stories, and requirements specifications. This hub is open to the general public 24/7.

At CNM Lab, the Friends Of CNM leads implementations of those requirements that the CNM Cyber Team created. This private hub is used to develop viable computer files, software, as well as confidential documentation.

What Requirements Are is the successor lectio.
