Explain what is Information Architecture?

[Krina]

Information architectures (IAs) are in the websites we use, the apps and software we download, the printed materials we encounter, and even the physical places we spend time in.

Information architecture is the set of ideas about how all information in a given context should be treated philosophically and, in a general way, how it should be organised.

It is basically a structural design of shared information environments. In other words you can say that it is the art and science of organizing and labelling websites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability.

When developing an app, information architecture is the process of identifying what information will be used to facilitate the requirements of a project.

By identifying an effective back end strategy with apps desired goal in mind, it establishes how front end tasks must operate in order to work accordingly. The process of information architecture factors for quality attributes of an application such as usability, performance, security, and manageability. Information architecture is used as a blueprint to ensure that the underlying modules of an application will support future growth.

Within the lifecycle of a project, information architecture will usually partake before any wireframing is carried out. However, IA can be revisited later in the lifecycle of a product when implementing new features. The roles responsible for undertaking information architecture will normally include a product manager, software developer/s and a project manager.
