Summary The six phases of the network lifecycle include prepare,
plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize.
A project plan includes tasks, timelines, risks, responsibilities, and resources required to complete a network design project.
Following the required format and schedule is critical to submitting a successful proposal.
All members of the networking contractor staff must demonstrate effective interpersonal skills.
Top-down network design strategies have the best chance to succeed.
A primary requirement for any network is the availability of qualified support personnel.
