Step Two Designs, supported in part by a grant from the Information Architecture Institute, have just released the "Intranet Review Toolkit", providing intranet managers and designers an easy-to-use method to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their intranets.
It contains a set of heuristics, allowing a detailed intranet review to be conducted that focuses on a wide range of functionality, design and strategy.
Released under a Creative Commons license, the Toolkit is free to download and use.
The Intranet Review Toolkit covers eight aspects:
* intranet home page
* site structure and navigation
* search
* page layout and visual design
* intranet content
* news
* staff directory
* intranet strategy and management
Published as a Word document, it's designed to be filled in by the intranet reviewer. Space is provided for comments against each of the heuristics, and a total score is calculated for each of the sections.
