MBA179: The Power of Prototyping
In this episode, Jennifer Kalz helps you to use prototypes effectively and create the right solutions for your customers.
After listening to this episode, you'll understand:
SHOW NOTES
The biggest challenges with requirements discovery are creating a common understanding and trying to ensure we’re building the right thing. Prototyping is a powerful tool that can address both of these challenges.
A prototype can be anything from a whiteboard drawing to a pixel-perfect, partially functioning model. The key is to understand why you’re creating the prototype and who the audience is.
In general, you want to start with the simpliest form of prototype, typically a paper or whiteboard drawing, and increase the level of fidelity if needed. You may iterate through drawings to wireframes to mock-ups.
Just remember to stop prototyping once you have the answer that you built the prorotype to address. When you have what you need, stop prototyping and start building the real product.
Listen to the full episode to understand how to get results from prototyping and the common tools you can use.
