This is an archive of the email series I've sent since March 12th, 2024 about accessibility rework, product quality and the messy bits of delivery. Enjoy!
Take accessibility from something that happens to you to something you actively manage and improve. Build practices in your workflow that prevent accessibility debt from becoming a silly game of whack-a-mole.
Avoid meetings that are destined to be doomed before they even start. Impose some hard and fast rules like setting an agenda, inviting the right people, keeping it brief and on point and managing trouble makers.
Run remote workshops that reduce anxiety by providing a familiar setting to all participants. Learn techniques to prevent technoloy, communication and facilitation barriers.
Run accessibility workshops by working together alone. Learn how to get the right stakeholders involved, dealing with trouble makers, keeping the energy up and common pitfalls to avoid.
Learn how to track and measure accessibility metrics that give you early warnings about potential accessibility issues in your product.
