SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STRATEGIC NETWORK PLANNING
First Claim
1. A system for strategic network planning, the system comprising:
- a service forecast module, the service forecast module operable to determine a forecasted service need for additional telecommunication network services in response to forecast information;
a network equipment module in communication with the service forecast module, the network equipment module operable to determine an equipment need for telecommunications network equipment in response to the determined forecasted service need, the equipment need including a list of equipment that is desired to meet the forecasted service need;
a task module in communication with the network equipment module, the task module operable to determine task needs in response to the determined equipment need, the task needs including a list of tasks that need to be completed to meet the equipment need; and
a project module in communication with the task module, the project module operable to calculate a project start date, the project start date calculated in response to the determined task needs, the project module further operable to automatically initiate at least one task by the project start date.

Abstract
A system and method for strategic network planning includes a service forecast module that determines a forecasted service need for additional telecommunication network services. A network equipment module is in communication with the service forecast module. The network equipment module is operable to determine an equipment need for telecommunications network equipment in response to the determined forecasted service need. The equipment need includes a list of equipment that is desired to meet the forecasted service need. A task module is also in communication with the network equipment module. The task module is operable to determine task needs in response to the determined equipment need. The task needs include a list of tasks that need to be completed to meet the equipment need. A project module is also in communication with the task module. The project module is operable to calculate a project start date. The project start date is calculated in response to the determined task needs. The project module is further operable to automatically initiate at least one task by the project start date.
