User:Volker E. (WMF)/sandbox/Product Manager Accessibility Checklist

The following is a overarching checklist for Product Managers to inclusive products.

Ensure:

- user research is done with folks with accessibility needs

- user testing is done with folks with accessibility needs in design, development and QA

- user journeys/informational hierarchy is logical and simple

- content is written in simple language and headings, icons, interactive elements are accurately labeled (content design)

- readability, legibilty and operability as target. Being able to navigate and have contents serve to different user's impairments design-wise

- designers and developers find their accessibility guidelines to align while in their work

The guides are located here: design and user-experience, front-end [maybe UX writing guidelines]

- front-end code is written accessibly and conducts manual and automated testing.


 * Bonus activity: Take an Accessibility 101 class, for example Deque’s Web Accessibility class, to get a baseline knowledge of accessibility.
 * Bonus activity II: Learn how to navigate a webpage using only your keyboard and learn how to use VoiceOver so you can spot check new features when necessary.
