on Karin McGrane & Louis Rosenfeld’s PowerPoint, Selling IA

More than anything, this is an addendum to the Morville & Rosenfeld reading of chapters 17 & 18 of Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, but it is worth (1) recording a note about this presentation for future reference, and (2) acknowledging that the experience of McGrane and Rosenfeld shown through their presentation actually reinforces some of what anyone who has had to ‘sell’ ideas to others while pursuing any project are already familiar with. This presentation gives any potential justification for IA in a situation firmer ground to stand on by categorizing different methods of presenting the case for IA, as well as showing a few points to address within each method of justification.
