The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model: Overview and Application to Strategic Planning
taught by: Jeff Kline
Session Summary
The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model (W3C AMM), published on November 4, was a multi year initiative developed by a team of subject matter experts in accessibility and more specifically accessibility maturity models. The W3C AMM has significant advantages over current ad hoc maturity models in use today. The model was developed as part of the W3C Accessible Programs Architecture Workgroup and is envisioned to become the de facto standard for accessibility maturity models worldwide.
This session will provide an overview of the model, its components, the AMM Assessment Template, tracking metrics, and how it can be used for implementation of accessibility programs and initiatives.
