The outcome of this process use to be a Information Architecture Design Document with an outline as:
- Goals
- User Experience (with Appendix A: Competitive Site Analysis)
- Site Content
- Content Groups by Labels
- Functional Requirements (with Appendix B: Content Inventory)
- Site Structure
- Structure listing or summary
- Architectural graphical views (blueprints)
