Abstract:
A method for prioritizing components of an existing network framework comprising the steps of:(a) providing a plurality of components required for implementation of a predetermined technology using an existing network framework; (b) compiling a priority listing of the plurality of components such that the relative position of the plurality of components on the priority listing corresponds to a temporal priority among the plurality of components, the temporal priority being indicative of the order in which the plurality of components are installed for optimal component function; (c) pictorially representing the existing network framework and the plurality of components; (d) indicia coding a first component of the existing network framework in order to indicate that the first component must be installed first based on the first component's first position on the priority listing; and (e) indicia coding a second component of the existing network framework in order to indicate that the second component must be installed after the first component based on the first component's first position and the second component's second position on the priority listing.
