Three Benefits of Dog Fooding

The second benefit of dog fooding is that it can help you write better instructions. Test your directions out by attempting to follow the steps exactly as they are written. Ask another person to read them to you and check to make sure you're not filling in gaps with your own knowledge. When you're planning a lab, or some other kind of hands-on, multi-step activity, dog fooding will help you proactively solve problems with equipment and logistics.
