This ended up worse than I thought. Over 40% of people who responded work at places where less than 10% of the company uses their own product daily. ngmi My dogfooding non-negotiables: - everyone has a production account, use it in “real life” scenarios - leaders MUST actually use the product on a regular basis - everyone on the team should be able to do a basic demo - PM/EM/Design leads cannot source testing to engineers, they must also go end to end through new products personally - have an opinion on the product, share it - no one gets excused by “I’m not the target user” - If you PM a dev tool, code is the product so you better learn to write code if you don’t already - dogfood the whole service, including support, customer success, activation emails, docs, etc. - come at everything with a unforgiving newbie eye, not your jaded expert eye - if you’re paying for a competitor…yikes! - but if you haven’t used your competitor’s product deeply (presuming you can)…yikes! Too many teams treat their products like they’re theoretical, whatever is in a deck or on the website is enough to do the job. But dogfooding is life. Everyone should be doing it. Leaders should be demonstrating it. Why aren’t you?
