Assignment:
Application: Information Architecture Case Study
This week, you have examined the importance of user-centered design in developing information architecture for public health information technology projects. Now, you will assess a case study that describes the development of an information architecture.
In your written assessment, describe the case study, then consider the following points:
• Did management, IT staff, and users all have an appropriate level of input into the design?
• How were users included? What specific techniques were used to elicit user knowledge?
• Was the project successful? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the architecture?
• Why was the development of the information architecture critical to the success of the project? How could it have failed?
Develop each of your answers into 1- to 2-double-spaced well-written pages. You can use one of the following resources to find a case study:
1. The Information Architecture Institute Library

2. The Object Management Group (OMG) Success Stories
