Good information architecture is one of three pillars of findability, but it’s an abstraction by itself. Usable navigation and clear nomenclature, driven by user-centered design and solid content strategy, respectively, are the two other pillars required to complete the trinity.
My approach to information architecture
IA activities will depend a lot on the precise problem at hand, but I tackle these challenges with the following tools and information:
- Concept models
- Taxonomy
- Analysis of content and capabilities (either existing and/or planned)
- Task and needs analysis
- Data about usage behavior
