Agile Accessibility Handbook: A Practical Guide to Accessible Software Development At Scale

It is estimated that one in five people has a disability; if you do the math, that's a huge, addressable market that is often overlooked. Digital Accessibility practitioners tap into this market by making digital documents as well as web and mobile apps accessible to everyone. However, many enterprises struggle to create, maintain, and scale their digital accessibility efforts.

Agile Accessibility Handbook outlines the steps organizations can take to capture this market, avoid risk, maintain agility, and close the accessibility gap. Using the information provided within this handbook, accessibility subject matter experts, development team members, and executives in charge of setting priorities can together learn how to build successful accessibility experiences for everyone.
