Examine 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?
