Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: Quantifying Accessibility
Accessibility is crucial for creating inclusive products and often for meeting legal requirements too. However, assessing and quantifying a company's progress in this area can be challenging. At Stack Overflow, we transitioned from hastily addressing accessibility issues to a proactive strategy that integrates accessibility into our product development lifecycle.

Join me as I share how the Design System team at Stack Overflow spearheaded this transformation by defining clear targets, securing engineering commitment, and developing an accessibility dashboard that tracks progress and provides actionable insights. Learn how we created a semi-automated accessibility scoring system that helped us to establish accessibility service level objectives (SLOs) for our products.
