Using D&D to Improve Accessibility and UX in Every Development Phase

From creating persona-like character sheets to role-playing these characters during a project's planning, design, development, and testing phases, you will learn how to improve the user experience-based development and overall accessibility of your products.

During this talk, Nick will discuss some “non-developer characters” (NDCs), how they interact with websites and apps, and how taking the time to “role play” those characters can help improve accessibility.

At the end of the talk, you will have access to new tools and ways of thinking about features, content, and design, as well as approaches to testing.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn the importance of considering the user experience in accessibility.
• A set of character sheets to consider for making accessible features.
• How to use role-play through the product development lifecycle to ensure an accessible feature.
