Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When we wanted to accelerate technical SEO to improve our page rankings, we needed a place to start. Crownpeak Digital Accessibility and Quality's set of checkpoints is that starting place. From there, it started a conversation of what was relevant and what wasn't, then we could configure the checkpoints to align to our business. Beyond that starting place, we grew into automated testing after gathering enough data to know where our blind spots were.

Pros

Preconfigured checkpoints to gather a baseline.
Reporting at regular intervals to identify pain points.
Mapping to WCAGG standard to understand how to resolve errors.
Ability to add customized checkpoints to align with messaging changes
Aggregating images in a visual repository to scan for relevancy.

Cons

Extended reporting capabilities over longer amounts of time.
First indexed dates to determine age of error as a basis for prioritization.
Integration with ticket management system.

Return on Investment

Page rankings improved, though this was one of many tactics aimed at improving that measure.
Ability to add in fixes into existing change management processes by provided structured error reporting.
Dashboards relevant to different teams so errors could be prioritized differently.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dqm consists out of a couple of different aspects, first of all you have the dashboard, this is used by the gate keepers of quality, Digital Services and the content owners of several different markets and businesses. Using this dashboards we keep track of large scale issues, template or component issues but alo hunt down the priority issues. The other tool is the cms plugin, this is used by all authors to make sure no isseus go live, and because some issues cannot be indicated by that plugin we also onboarded the Dqm live page checker. This tool can be used on the live page to check all checkpoints that are in the dashboard. We've been using the dashboards for more than a year and using the benchmarks we see great improvement on the website and apart from that over 30 checkpoints were added to make sure all aspects on quality were included. Some minor aspects (which the crownpeak team is developing) is reporting both on plugin usage as well as a daily management setup in the dashboard and the new checkpoints do not give any weight to the benchmarking scores, though they should.

Pros

The tickets, every single day I'm amazed by the ticketing tool and people that work on them, unfortunately I'm no longer being asked to grade tickets because every single one of them would be 10/10
The tooling itself is very intuitive, I myself am addicted to the scorings, its an amazing motivator!
The possibility to together with the Dqm team work on new checkpoint is so much fun!

Cons

The providing of info on improvements can be improved, there's a lot of information on the forum but a biweekly newsletter for tool owners like myself would be nice
Additional checkpoints could be suggested, its very onesided when it comes to new checkpoint creation
New checkpoints should be able to give weight on the benchmarking scores, insights on how the weight in the bemchmarking scores would be nice
I'm worried about the new ui and how it will affect the daily operations

Return on Investment

It improved seo A lot! Pages that shouldn't be indexed are cleaned up and seo specifics have been automated and fixed as much as possible
Accessibility, creating awareness throughout the organization for digital exclusion is great and really gives the team a fulfilled feeling at the end of the day
Usability, checkpoints that indicate broken user journeys (broken links, broken videos, broken forms) have been solved for 90% in one year
The escalations that happened after the go-live of issues on new pages have gone down significantly
