Seven Deadly Sins of IA
(1) Sin of Abstraction
”When you go too far up, abstraction-wise,
you run out of oxygen.
Sometimes smart thinkers just don’t know
when to stop, and they create these absurd,
all-encompassing, high-level pictures of the
universe that are all good and fine, but
don’t actually mean anything at all.”
- Joel Spolsky
(2) Sin of Introvercy

FINDABILITY
We need to start with The Core
How to design for Core+Paths
Offer relevant Outward Paths from the Core(Calls to Action that meet user, business and social needs)
Design Inward Paths to the Core (SEO, facets, menus, search, RSS, newsletters – any mean available)
Prioritize and design the Core(satisfy user goals through prioritized content and functionality)
Core, Inward and Outward Paths
Core
Most optimal unit of consumption
Balance business and user goals
Example: Municipality
Kor gamalt må barnet vera før det kan byrja i barnehage?
Barnet må vere fylt 10 månader før det kan begynne i barnehagen.
Det kan søkjast plass i inntil 3 barnehagar.
Kva er prioriterte grupper?
Kor mykje kostar det?
Finst det barnehagar som er opne på kvelden og om natta?
Kor lang tid tar det før eg får svar på søknaden?
Kan eg klage på utfallet av søknaden?
