What is Employee Dogfooding?

Centercode offers an all-in-one solution for managing your employee driven alpha or dogfooding tests. Leveraging your employees to test your products and provide feedback not only improves products but also enriches buy-in and collaboration across your company.

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.
