4.0 Tasks and Delivery

Through engagement with the CNM User Office, division leadership and research staff, multiple development tasks have been identified that will bring modernization, stability and enhancements to the current applications that aid in the operation of the CNM User Facility and the NST division. A prioritized list has been created that will address specific needs across the core applications. Individual tasks are expected to vary in complexity and time to complete, some requiring only an hour or two, while others may require weeks of effort.

All work will be completed with adherence to good coding standards, staged with revision control and accompanied by appropriate levels of documentation. Work will be assigned until the list is completed. The current backlog is quite lengthy.
