Abstract:
1. A method comprising: associating, by a provisioning workflow management system, one or more workflow tasks with each of a plurality of universal workflow steps, the one or more workflow tasks being specific to a provisioning workflow that corresponds to a first type of network circuit; receiving, by the provisioning workflow management system, a request to provision a network circuit of the first type; displaying, by the provisioning workflow management system in response to the request, graphical depictions representative of the universal workflow steps for provisioning the network circuit of the first type in a graphical user interface; detecting, by the provisioning workflow management subsystem, a selection by a user of a graphical depiction included in the graphical depictions and representative of a universal workflow step included in the plurality of universal workflow steps; displaying, by the provisioning workflow management subsystem in response to the selection by the user of the graphical depiction representative of the universal workflow step, the one or more workflow tasks associated with the universal workflow step; updating, by the provisioning workflow management subsystem while the one or more workflow tasks associated with the universal workflow step are displayed, a completion status of at least one workflow task included in the one or more workflow tasks associated with the universal workflow step; determining, by the provisioning workflow management system, a completion status of one or more universal workflow steps included in the plurality of universal workflow steps based on the updated completion status of the at least one workflow task; graphically indicating, by the provisioning workflow management system in the graphical user interface, the completion status of the one or more universal workflow steps; dynamically updating, by the provisioning workflow management system, the graphical indication of the completion status of the one or more universal workflow steps in real time as the one or more workflow tasks associated with the one or more universal workflow steps are determined to be completed.
