Prioritize accessibility improvements by assessing impact, effort, and business risk. Use a framework that evaluates user impact—especially for underrepresented or high-need groups—against engineering lift and legal or reputational exposure. Start with high-impact, low-effort wins like screen reader support for core flows. Tie improvements to broader product goals: accessibility often enhances usability for all users. Combine qualitative insights from users with disabilities and audit tools to build a backlog that balances compliance, inclusion, and product velocity.
