TM Forum is running two types of projects in our Cable Program.  Some of projects need to have very short cycle times to meet industry timelines. These projects will be run using agile-style development techniques.  The results of these projects will be made available to members as soon as the projects are completed.  The second type of project are the Frameworx core projects that will be done as part of the Frameworx 6 month release cycles.  This type of project needs to be synchronized with other projects in TM Forum and as such will take this approach.

To get information about any of the projects below, visit www.tmforum.org/community and click on projects.  Then join the projects you are interested in contributing to:

Current projects are:
