Systems and methods for using network architecture planning tools

A system for planning a network architecture, 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 the user computer to initiate a network architecture planning process;
• transmit an electronic file comprising a first display screen to the user computer, wherein the first display screen comprises a question relating to a parameter of the network architecture;
• receive at the host computer system a first response to the question;
• transmit an electronic file comprising at least a second display screen to the user computer, wherein the second display screen comprises context-sensitive content based on at least one previous response;
• receive at the host computer system at least a second response to the at least a second display screen;
• determine at least a first action based on the first response and the at least a second response;
• and
• transmit information relating to the at least a first action for display at the user computer.

A method of planning, comprising:

• receiving at a host computer system a request to initiate a planning process;
• transmitting to a user computer an electronic file comprising at least a first object, wherein the at least a first object requests a response;
• receiving at the host computer system a first response from the user computer;
• determining at least a next object;
• transmitting an electronic file comprising the at least a next object to the user computer;
• receiving a next response;
• and
• listing at least a first action relating to the first response and the next response.
