The successful implementation of inclusive design depends critically upon developing an overall vision for the project that correctly aligns with the user and business needs, and maintaining that vision throughout all the updates, changes and compromises made as the design process progresses and iterates.

These pro-formas assist communication of the vision throughout the design process, together with the key information that underpins the vision and guides its development. Additionally, the pro-formas provide a series of questions that are critical to keep in mind during the process of inclusive design.

These pro-formas could perhaps be printed and displayed on the wall of the office, with supplementary information linked to the relevant points with pieces of string; or stored on a shared project drive with supplementary hyperlinks.

The following PDFs are preliminary versions for review and feedback. Future versions for review will be indicated by a change in the version number, and further case studies will be added in due course.
