Propose new IA for Brand and Digital Handbook
Goals
Propose new IA for Brand and Digital Handbook content, including existing content and foreseeable content updates. May require migrating Brand and Digital content currently spread across other team pages to a new, centralized Brand and Digital Handbook location.
- Some content will apply to entire Brand and Digital team, such as shared labels, whereas other content will be specific to Brand or Design
- Embrace Handbook IA conventions and only stray with strategic intent
- Solve for integration with other handbook sections and pages (i.e. cross-links)
- Make it easy for users looking for content in old locations to find that content in its new location (i.e. cross-links)
- Optimize IA and content for stakeholders AND our team
- Avoid duplicate content wherever possible
- Announce change via appropriate channels
Proposed tasks
-
Team - Identify existing Brand and Digital content -
Shane & TBD Partner - Facilitate collaborative IA exercise in Mural or Figma, using digital post-its to represent existing and foreseeable content simply, and then organizing that content into a site map with arrows representing cross-links. -
@skarpeles - create a spreadsheet of which topics each person should handle -
Team review -
Implement in follow-on Issues/MRs
