The fastest path to meaningful WCAG 2.2 progress is fixing five issue classes that dominate real audits: keyboard traps, missing focus indicators, unlabeled form fields, low-contrast text, and images without meaningful alt text. These are sprint-sized fixes with outsized legal and usability impact.
This sprint
- Tab through every critical flow, anywhere focus disappears or gets stuck is a P1
- Make focus visible: WCAG 2.2's strengthened focus-appearance rules are where most sites newly fail
- Label every input programmatically, placeholder text is not a label
- Run a contrast sweep on text and interactive states; fix tokens, not instances
- Alt text that says what the image means, not what it is ('Error state diagram', not 'image1.png')
Then make it stick
Add automated axe checks to CI for regressions, and schedule one Manual screen-reader pass (NVDA or VoiceOver) per release for what scanners can't judge. Automation holds the line; humans set it.
