Prototypes can range from rough sketches on paper to interactive simulations that feel, look, and function like the final product. The key to successful rapid prototyping includes the ability to revise quickly depending on feedback and utilizing the appropriate prototyping approach. Rapid prototyping assists teams in considering multiple ideas and approaches, facilitating discussion via visuals rather than words. In the end, it ensures everyone has a better understanding in order to reduce risk and avoid missed requirements, says Smashing Magazine. The result? A better design, faster.
