Using Information Architecture (IA) and User Flows

Our topic for our upcoming event is:
Using Information Architecture (IA) and user flows

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe" - Carl Sagan

Information Architecture is the art of making sense of messy information.

This talk will be based on the learning from the book: How to make sense of any mess, by Abby Covert. Come learn with us how to:
* Identify your mess
* State your intent
* Face reality
* Choose a direction
* Measure the distance
* Play with structure
* Prepare to adjust

Every second week, we open our doors - and our discussions - to a handful of curious minds who want to dive deeper into the world of product creation.

Our Sketchy Ideas sessions explore everything from research best practices to stakeholder management, design-to-dev handovers, presentation skills, and more. The focus leans towards design and analysis, but touches on any skill essential to building great products.

About the Sessions:

• When: Every second week, 4:30–6:00 PM (please log in or arrive by 4:20 PM to get settled)
• Where: In-person at Monkey and River (details provided on confirmation), or join online
• Format: Interactive discussion and knowledge sharing - not just lectures! Bring your thoughts and questions.
• Guests: We allow up to 5 guest attendees per session.
• Perks: Light snacks and drinks provided, and you’re welcome to stay afterwards to chat and network.
