Systems and methods for archiving network planning processes
First Claim
1. A method of conducting a network architecture planning process, comprising:
- receiving at a host computer system a request from a user computer to initiate a network architecture planning process, wherein the network architecture planning process relates to a modification to a portion of the public switched telephone network;
transmitting a first electronic file comprising a question relating to a parameter of the network architecture to the user computer, the question relating to the modification to the portion of the public switched telephone network;
receiving a first response to the question, the first response relating to the modification of the public switched telephone network;
storing the first response;
transmitting a second electronic file comprising a second question to the user computer, wherein the second question comprises context-sensitive content based on the first response, and the second question relating to the modification to the portion of the public switched telephone network;
receiving, at the host computer system, a second response to the second question, the second response relating to the modification of the public switched telephone network;
storing the second response;
determining a first action based on the first response and the second response, wherein the first action comprises adding at least one configuration item related to the network architecture to a list of configuration items; and
transmitting the first action for display at the user computer.

Abstract
A method of documenting a network architecture planning process includes receiving at a host computer system a request from a user computer to initiate a network architecture planning process, transmitting an electronic file comprising a question relating to a parameter of the network architecture to the user computer, receiving a first response to the question, storing the first response, transmitting an electronic file comprising at least a second question to the user computer, wherein the second question comprises context-sensitive content based on the first response, receiving at the host computer system at least a second response to the at least a second question, storing the at least a second response, determining at least a first action based on the first response and the at least a second response, and transmitting the at least a first action for display at the user computer.

9. A system for conducting a network architecture planning process, comprising:
-
a host computer system; and a network that communicably couples the host computer system to at least one user computer; wherein the host computer system is programmed to; receive a request from a user computer to initiate a network architecture planning process, wherein the network architecture planning process relates to a modification to a portion of the public switched telephone network; transmit a first electronic file comprising a question relating to a parameter of the network architecture to the user computer, the first question relating to the modification of the public switched telephone network;
receive a first response to the question;store the first response; transmit a second electronic file comprising a second question to the user computer, wherein the second question comprises context-sensitive content based on the first response, and the second question relating to the modification to the portion of the public switched telephone network; receive a second response to the second question, the second response relating to the modification of the public switched telephone network; store the second response; and determine an action based on the first response and the second response, wherein the first action comprises adding at least one configuration item related to the network architecture to a list of configuration items. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of conducting a planning process, comprising:
-
receiving at a host computer system a request from a user computer to initiate a planning process, wherein the planning process relates to a modification to a portion of the public switched telephone network; transmitting a first electronic file comprising a question relating to a parameter of a project to the user computer, the question relating to the modification to the portion of the public switched telephone network; receiving a first response to the question, the first response relating to the modification of the public switched telephone network; storing the first response; transmitting a second electronic file comprising a second question to the user computer, wherein the second question comprises context-sensitive content based on the first response; receiving at the host computer system a second response to the second question, the second response relating to the modification of the public switched telephone network, and the second question relating to the modification to the portion of the public switched telephone network; storing the second response; determining one or more actions based on the first response and the second response, wherein the one or more actions comprises adding at least one configuration item related to the planning process to a list of configuration items; and transmitting information relating to the one or more actions for display at the user computer. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
