Agile methodology is very popular in technology organizations because it provides a blueprint for organizing teamwork. However, developing information architecture (IA) in Agile can be difficult.

Alan Pringle and special guest Amber Swope of DITA Strategies talk about information architecture.

In an increasingly digitized world, users flood content stores with billions and billions of bits of information. Finding the right result can be like finding a needle in an acre-sized haystack. The solution is taxonomy. In this webinar, Amber Swope and Boris Roberto Aguilar define taxonomy, demonstrate best practices, and caution pitfalls to avoid.

Information architect Amber Swope and Content Strategist Chris Hibbard share some methodologies and processes, best practices, and insights on how content strategy and information architecture work together to help make client projects succeed.

Moving to a new source format, such as DITA, is a major project and one to not be undertaken lightly. When companies that are fiscally constrained approach a move to XML, their teams should understand when to utilize expert assistance.

Information architecture documentation can, very quickly, become unweildy. The IA Checklist provides a simple way to quickly track down key decisions and data from the architecture development process.

Those who are new to DITA will benefit from this glossary.

What is DITA? The Darwin Information Typing Architecture is an open-sourced, structured information architecture. It provides a neutral, modular content source for almost any type of content.

Amber Swope explains how you can use the Deliverable Structure Diagram, a component of the Information Architecture Blueprint™ Toolkit, to define the structure of each deliverable type, capture visual analysis, and convey the structure of information.

Amber Swope talks about why she created the Deliverable Analysis Worksheet as part of the Information Architecture Blueprint™ Toolkit. Amber explains how you can use it to define the purpose and requirements for each deliverable type.

Amber explains how to use the content deliverable matrix to analyze where content appears in deliverables, either in multiple deliverables of the same type or in different deliverables that serve the same audience.

Amber Swope shares how you can use the Information Architecture Blueprint Toolkit™ templates to perform a formatting audit of your content.

How to get started with your content analysis using some of the analysis templates in the Information Architecture Blueprint Toolkit™.

Amber Swope discusses the Information Architecture Blueprint Toolkit™ and explains why she created it, who can use it, and what makes it a valuable product.

Amber Swope discusses using content collections to share content across the enterprise. Learn how to identify the requirements for the collection, determine the collection scope, and collaborate with other stakeholders to build and manage the collection.

There are many resources for learning about information architecture (IA) and the role of Information Architect. Here are Amber Swope's recommendations.

Amber Swope addresses the overarching question: how can you become an IA, and what does it take to get there?

Although most content creators do not think of themselves as information architects, many of them perform tasks that are information architecture responsibilities. If you decide what information gets created and delivered, identify keywords to support findability, or organize the hierarchy for a table of contents, you are performing IA tasks.

Amber Swope discusses how to define the role of IA and what kinds of tasks the role of an IA demands.

Amber Swope introduces the survey that DITA Strategies sent out on September of 2017: why we made it, what questions the survey asked, and what kinds of responses we gathered from 35 information architects.
