Schulzetenberg, U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeverity scores are often used in usability research to provide stakeholders a measure of urgency for the usability problems that were identified during testing. However, the methods used to develop these scores often lack rigor or applicability to multitask usability research. Because government UX research often involves testing multiple tasks, we propose an intuitive method to calculate severity scores for each usability problem that takes into account both the effectiveness and efficiency of the user, weighting effectiveness-related problems more heavily. We then can calculate an overall severity score and see each problem’s relative strain on the system’s total usability.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJbCQCYsLGU\u0026amp;t=2021s\"\u003eWatch the video\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolving the Lost Sock Problem: A Useful Method to Track Standards and UX Requirements in an Agile Software Development Process\u003c/strong\u003e - Margo Kabel, Veterans Health Administration\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis presentation proposes a useful method to track standards and UX requirements in an agile software development process.

Yet it’s often an overlooked part of the product development lifecycle. The best and most cost-effective way to ensure your product is accessible is to start with accessibility. In this session, participants will learn how to incorporate accessibility and inclusive design at each stage of the product lifecycle.
