Notes

• All search functions on the home/landing page lead to this Information Architecture on the second page. Hence it was vital to identify the tree/IA of the Search Bar feature.

• As per feedback from developers on the need to start building all the features:

  • Impact on Issue: Website features audit
  • Relevant google drive Development - Features
  • Relevant google sheets Development - Features

• Completed FigJam collaborative workshop during last week's team meeting (on April 26,2023)

Notes - documenting process

FigJam Workshop – Identifying the Information Architecture of the Search Bar tool/feature on the landing page

• Data Collection process
  • Workshopping the features based on the benchmarked CKAN websites
  • The input was given by the respective stakeholders on the team, based on the domains they came from (Example: Product & Project Managers, UX Designer, UX Writer, Developers)

• Data Analysis process
  • Benchmark 5-7 common features
  • Identify how many times these common features showed up on the FigJam Workshop
  • Identify any outliers (document them & identify the need to incorporate them - example: html feature by developers)
  Vote on above features & identify on the following:
  • Number of features required for the first iteration of the MVP (to ship the product)
  • What are the features?

• Once the above is finalized, the tree can be constructed on a spreadsheet
