Prototyping

Prototyping is a technique for creating preliminary models of a product to test ideas, gather feedback, and identify design flaws early. It helps better understand requirements and improve the final product.

Effort: medium Difficulty: medium Effectiveness: short

Prototypes can be created alone or in a team to get active feedback from stakeholders and end users. This is particularly helpful for testing ideas and validating requirements.

💡 Tip from practice: Follow the Goldilocks principle and create a prototype that is “just right” - neither too detailed nor too simple. Focus on the essentials that make up the idea.
