IA now

November 16th, 2008 |  Published in Mobile

I’ve put together a new, short presentation on what IA is now, at the crossroads of web 1, 2, and 3.0. The emerge of social media, new levels of information and interaction, and portability raise the need for new ways of working and documenting design architecture, but the new doesn’t replace all of the old – the basics still apply. Great documentation is still needed, requirements gathering, wireframing, usability testing is still, of course, all relevant and needed. IAs just need to expand their toolkits to better plan and communicate the architecture of the rapidly changing online world.

You can view the presentation on Slideshare here.
