What is Employee Dogfooding?

Program Stakeholders

Because these programs are typically a top-down initiative, upper management and department leadership are the most common stakeholders from a cultural aspect. But the data coming in from these tests fuel decisions for Product Managers, UX/CX, or Quality Engineering.
