Jennifer Chadwick, CPACC

Incorporating accessibility into your code and designs? Make it easy. The W3C has released the Accessibility Roles and Responsibility Mapping (ARRM) framework for WCAG 2.2.

ARRM breaks down the WCAG success criteria list into individual, plain-language tasks ("checkpoints") for Front-end Developers, UX and Visual Designers and Content Authors to do.

It help teams identify the primary, secondary and contributor owners of web accessibility requirements and best practices by role. It's an official, ready-made, go-to resource your team can start using tomorrow.
