You can't help everyone... so, who DO you choose?
You were there when NOBODY was asking for your team's accessibility guidance. Now... it's the opposite. You've finally got people on board (winning!), and now your team never has enough hours in the day (bleh). On top of that, product teams all want your attention at precisely the same time, and you're faced with doing 3 months of work in 6 days, and the inevitable case of team burnout.
A couple of pieces to start with
-
Principles of Great (Accessibility) Work
Thoughts and reflections on some principles that help create conditions for great accessibility work.
-
How to ensure you pay more for web accessibility than you should
The patterns that quietly multiply the cost of accessibility, and what paying less actually takes.
What I write about for accessibility leadership
- Prioritization when everything is urgent
- Teaching product teams to carry the work
- Letting the design system do your team's work
- Growing your people while the queue keeps growing
- Progress your leadership can actually see
