1. A system for identifying geographic areas in which to improve telecommunications network congestion, the system comprising:
at least one hardware processor;
at least one non-transitory memory, coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, perform a process, the process comprising:
monitoring telecommunications network data for a geographic area;
evaluating telecommunications coverage data for the geographic area;
computing, from the telecommunications network data and the telecommunications coverage data, values of growth criteria in a set of telecommunications growth criteria for the geographic area,
wherein the growth criteria in the set of telecommunications growth criteria correspond to at least two of the following:
telecommunications network planning, telecommunications network usability, or telecommunications network coverage;
generating a weight for each growth criteria in the set of telecommunications growth criteria;
generating a classification of the geographic area using the computed values and weights of the growth criteria,
wherein the geographic area is classified as an invest area, a grow area, a defend area, or a fix area; and
using the generated classification of the geographic area to provide data for selecting an optimum network performance improvement solution from a set of network performance improvement solutions to be implemented in at least one network site or node in the geographic area.
