Welcome to the first issue of the My Navy Portal (MNP) newsleer designed to build awareness and to help answer quesons you may have about the Navy’s MNP program. I am Jake Aplanalp, the Assistant Program Manager (APM) for the MNP program. As some of you may know, the MNP program has been underway since FY13 and started with a technical refresh on Navy Knowledge Online (NKO), making that portal faster, more reliable and more capable. A prototype for MNP was developed in 2014, and the first iteraon of the portal is currently under development. The MNP newsleer will provide stakeholders with a frequent, reliable source of MNP news, previews of MNP screenshots and funconality, and informaon about the major acvies and events leading up to deployment of the first increment of MNP in FY16. This newsleer is a valuable resource to help stakeholders transion to this new portal technology. Please feel free to distribute to anyone in your organizaon who might find this informaon useful. We look forward to connuing to provide regular updates on MNP in future issues of this newsleer!

My Navy Portal is being designed to provide Sailors a one-stop website for accessing their authoritave personnel informaon as well as training and educaon content. Over me, MNP will consolidate the numerous OPNAV N1 online Human Resources (HR) portals, websites, and web applicaons into an integrated and centrally-governed website named My Navy Portal, or MNP. The new portal will simplify the Sailor-facing user access for all Manpower, Personnel, Training, and Educaon (MPTE) applicaons. MNP is being developed using a leading commercial-off-the- shelf (COTS) technology, with a target goal for DON-wide deployment in FY16 with some inial capability. Sailor working groups are providing direct input into the design of MNP via the Agile approach to soſtware development. The (Connued on Page 2) My Navy Portal Newsletter July 2015
