Capital expenditures begins with design. However, understanding timing and sequence of key decisions and what tools can effectively guide those decisions, is what ensures a projects expenditures are predictable and properly managed. The Broadband Group will showcase insights from four successful large-scale fiber network projects, highlighting best practices and lessons learned. The presentation will include an overview of industry tools and their impact on efficient decision-making.

Learnings include:
1. Creation and utilization of a Feasibility Design.
2. Tools employed by The Broadband Group for assessing build sequencing and determining whether a build should be deferred based on cost metrics.
3. Steps involved in transitioning from a Feasibility Design to a comprehensive build package.
4. Defining the timing, method, and responsible party for key project decisions.
