[Draft] Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) Overview

What is ARRM

Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) helps define which roles (designer, developer, writer, etc.) have which responsibilities for meeting which aspects of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) requirements.

ARRM assigns primary, secondary, and contributor level responsibilities for tasks.

ARRM currently provides an example of typical roles and responsibilities for WCAG success criteria. It is also a tool for project managers to assign different responsibilities across roles within their team.

Typical Roles and Mapping

ARRM provides one approach for defining roles and responsibilities.

You can use these as they are, without doing any more work to customize them.

Customizing ARRM for Your Situation

ARRM also guides organizations that want to customize their own accessibility roles and responsibilities mapping, based on the roles and considerations in their organizations.

Future Work

Future work on ARRM includes breaking down success criteria into multiple sub-points, and assigning those sub-points to roles.
