16:07:38 <jkline> Attached is some proposed language that can addresses this issue. It could be added to the Introduction section, but could also be located somewhere else in the document as appropriate. The language is taken from the book referenced below, and modified for use in the MM document. It is intended to provide general information, and is not specific to
16:07:38 <jkline> MM proof points or dimensions, but rather to provide examples and ideas for areas that need goals and metrics to drive progress.
16:07:38 <jkline> ESTABLISHING METRICS AND TRACKING PROGRESS
16:07:38 <jkline> Content derived from Chapter 8.1.6 of Strategic IT Accessibility: Enabling the
16:07:40 <jkline> Organization – 2nd Edition by Jeff Kline
16:07:40 <jkline> An important approach to reaching full accessibility maturity is establishing goals and measuring
16:07:40 <jkline> progress of the organization’s accessibility initiative.
16:07:41 <jkline> Developing short term and long-term goals is a meaningful and realistic approach to achieve accessibility maturity .
16:07:41 <jkline> Setting short-term goals is important and can be strategic or tactical, and may be indirectly related to achieving digital accessibility compliance. Some examples are but not limited to:
16:07:41 <jkline> • Completion of general accessibility awareness training by 50 percent of staff within eight months, and 100 percent within sixteen months
16:07:42 <jkline> • Completion of accessibility training by all project programmers within six months
16:07:42 <jkline> • Establishment of a baseline of accessibility for the organization’s external website
16:07:42 <jkline> • Exploration and selection of web scan tools for regular scanning of internal and external websites
16:07:43 <jkline> • Appointment of accessibility focal points for all necessary units and subunits
16:07:43 <jkline> These examples are related to organizational enablement more than actual compliance but have a long-term impact. Progress can be easily tracked and measured by using metrics such as deadlines for completion as the end goal.
16:08:00 <jkline> Long-term goals should be focused on measuring actual progress in making your organization’s IT accessible. Goals should established and agreed upon by the various stakeholder organizations to ensure consensus. The goals for various stakeholder organizations would customized based on the nature of their work, but common elements remain:
16:08:00 <jkline> • establishing goals for various areas
16:08:00 <jkline> • measuring progress toward meeting them over time
16:08:01 <jkline> • reporting the results at regular intervals (quarterly, annually, etc.)
16:08:01 <jkline> Some examples of metrics for long-range accessibility goals are but not limited to:
16:08:01 <jkline> • Percentage of Internet pages with accessibility errors
16:08:02 <jkline> • Percentage of intranet pages with accessibility errors
16:08:02 <jkline> • Percentage of procured IT products and services for internal use that are accessible
16:08:02 <jkline> • Number of noncompliance exceptions created
16:12:11 <Fazio> q?
16:12:51 <Mark_Miller> Sheri_B-H, Can take a pass at consolidating the language.
16:13:23 <Mark_Miller> jkline, Where do we want to put the language?
