You are probably wondering why the topic of Category Management is being dealt with here. From a classical point of view, this is a completely separate topic.
Correct!
Nevertheless, in our experience it is very important to put the topics of category management and content management in the right context. The form of category management naturally depends heavily on the structure and size of your company. That is why we keep it pragmatic in terms of content. This can be scaled accordingly to the corresponding company size.
You certainly have the appropriate tool in use in your company to define this framework. Of course, you can also easily use standard spreadsheet software as a tool. Depending on the size of the company, databases with approval or information workflows and change histories also help to make the topic as audit-proof as possible.
Everything you have read so far should give you a good starting point, to answer some of the questions from the components listed above.
