Whether we’re talking about design, content, search, or engineering, we all need an information model that captures what the user needs and cares about. But we don’t all need the same parts or even start in the same place. Michael will look at information modeling approaches that he has encountered across programming, design, content architecture, and SEO teams and the priorities they serve. Then he’ll share how we can integrate these approaches to align cross-discipline work, reduce conflicts, and ensure a consistent end-to-end customer experience.
