Why you shouldn't start IA with a content inventory
Leisa Reichelt has written an interesting blog entry that argues that we shouldn't start with a content inventory when redesigning a site. To quote:
Personally, I am of the opinion that starting your project with an inventory of this kind is probably one of the *worst* ways to go about developing a good IA.
Not only is it the fastest way to lose enthusiasm for a project (hey, you don't do a Content Inventory for fun… they're really the most tedious work that an IA has to do). It is also the best way to ensure that you’re *not* taking a fresh approach to how the content might be structured and related.
