Скачать или смотреть Accessibility for Project Managers

Heather Gantz, Bounteous

The topic of accessibility has gained momentum in the last several years, and while wildly talked about in Engineering circles, it still manages to not get prioritized on project roadmaps and product backlogs. In this session we will explore how to incorporate Accessibility into your projects and manage the roadmap to compliance over time. We also introduce concepts to ensure your projects address and prioritize Accessibility as part of the ongoing site and not just viewed as a one time feature enhancement.
