Accessibility Charters Introduction

Talk Description

Accessibility is an often forgotten or unconsidered system quality criteria or non-functional requirement. What many might not know is that 15% of the world's population has some form of disability.  

WeThe15 is the biggest ever human rights movement to end discrimination towards the world’s 1.2 billion persons with disabilities who represent 15% of the global population. 

There will also be a brief introduction to Charters. These are the “unwritten rules” all teams have when looking at ways of working and software delivery.
