identified some subactivities within activities for “Gather information for
configuration” and “Configure monitoring tools and network devices.” This
representation suggests that the former is managed as a jumbled flow, while
the latter is sequenced as a linear flow. “Configure monitoring tools and
target devices” has sequential tasks listed, while “Gather information for con-
figuration” shows tasks without any precedence relationship. Note also the
important tool dimension for the actual configuration activities, suggesting
that we might very well find procedures or work instructions associated with
use of specific tools. T
