Many organisations know accessibility is important. The challenge is making it happen consistently. Accessibility often falls between teams, gets considered too late, or relies on individuals rather than process. Our Accessibility in Software Development Life Cycle Governance Workshops help you embed accessibility into the way product developments is planned, governed, delivered and maintained.

Using the principles of the digital accessibility maturity standard ISO 30071-1, we’ll help you identify where accessibility belongs in your software development life cycle, governance forums and delivery processes, creating a practical and sustainable approach that works for your organisation.
