Definition of CS • Who, what, when, where, why,
and how of publishing content
• A strategic statement tying content to business
• The people, processes, and power to execute that statement

Overlaps between CS & IA: • Keep user in mind • Clarity • Ability to accomplish goals • Findability • Usability • Page structure
Focus

Differences: • CS gets “in the weeds” about the
business; IA stays focused on the user
• IA is complete at some point; CS is concerned with “Day 2” – governance, calendar

• How does content get to the site? • How long should content stay live?
• How can we make sure that people create content so it can be found and used?
• How much content is there in each section and how often it gets added to?
• How can we bring together similar content from different parts of an organization?
What about the content?

• How good is the content that currently exists – how relevant is it to the audience, does it help the organization meet its goals?
• What’s missing? • Who is posting the content, vs who’s
creating it?
• Is the system working to help make publishing and finding content easier, or is it making things more difficult?
What about the content?
