How have you used or intend on using this resource?

I would use this as a starting point to guide the development of a storyboard activity, though I'd probably also be looking at other resources or examples of how people have used this option to gain some more in depth information about the process and what works or does not work well. 

Why would you recommend it to other people?

I like that it's brief and printable so it would make a good overview to share with colleagues and participants to explain the process. It's also written in very friendly, open language, and so isn't intimidating for people who haven't used this option before. It doesn't present the steps as rules but as suggestions.
