Grouping Simple Sitemap by content type

The XML sitemap standard has been around for almost 20 years and serves as a great way of keeping Google and other search engines up to date on what content is changing on a website.

My very first step was to create an initial plan on what steps we'd need to do to to plan the site build. Seeing as this list ended up being completely generic, I figured I'd share it.
