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.

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.

The Information Architecture Blueprint Toolkit™ is Amber Swope's own system for developing information architecture — a set of templates that guide IAs through analysis, documentation, and stakeholder communication. This episode explains why she built it and how to use it.

Sharing content across departments sounds simple, but it requires careful architecture. Amber Swope walks through how to define, scope, and manage DITA content collections for cross-team reuse.

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

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

How do people actually become information architects? Amber Swope surveyed 35 IAs to find out — and shares what their paths, roles, and day-to-day work really look like in part one of this three-part series.

Learning and training content has the same reuse problem as technical documentation — and the same solution. Amber Swope explains how DITA XML gives L&D teams one structured source that powers any delivery platform.

Delivering consistent product information across a large enterprise requires more than good writing — it requires structured content architecture. Amber Swope shares advanced strategies for using DITA and CCMS to power customer-centric delivery.

Most learning and training teams can't keep their content up to date — not because they don't try, but because their content architecture makes maintenance harder than it needs to be. Amber Swope shares five ways automation and structured content can fix that.

Translation costs scale directly with the quality of your DITA content model. Amber Swope explains what to fix in your model before sending content for translation — and how structured content can dramatically reduce your localization burden.

New to DITA Strategies? This is where to start. Amber Swope introduces the firm, explains what information architecture and DITA can do for your content, and describes who she helps.

Educational publishers can't afford to maintain separate content for every delivery format. Amber Swope explains how DITA XML creates a single neutral source that powers print, digital, and personalized learning — from one place.
