| DistributedCompetencyCentre_Assessment = NGI staff has actively contributed to major activities which consumed a considerable amount of effort (ex: MPI VT and others). However, due to lack of central coordination after the end of the VT work, the VTs work may be lost. The work performed by the VTs is not properly broadcasted. The goals or achievements are not easily consulted. Moreover, once the VT ends, and if the VT work requires some follow up by other project tasks, there is no coordination in place that can reassess the progress status and check if the VT work was in vain or not. | | DistributedCompetencyCentre_Assessment = NGI staff has actively contributed to major activities which consumed a considerable amount of effort (ex: MPI VT and others).
