PROTOTYPE 1 SOFTWARE
High-Fidelity Prototypingįidelity refers to the level of detail and functionality you include in your prototype. Prototyping can help catch potentially costly errors well in advance. Improve time-to-market by minimizing the number of errors to correct before product release.Provide a sense of ownership to all concerned stakeholders-therefore fostering emotional investment in the product’s ultimate success.Have a tool to experiment with associated parts of the users’ needs and problems-therefore, you can get insights into less-obvious areas of the users’ world (e.g., you notice them using it for additional purposes or spot unforeseen accessibility issues such as challenges to mobile use).Show the prototype to your users so they can give you their feedback to help pinpoint which elements/variants work best and whether an overhaul is required.Can adapt changes early-thereby avoiding commitment to a single, falsely-ideal version, getting stuck on local maxima of UX and later incurring heavy costs due to oversights.
Have a solid foundation from which to ideate towards improvements-giving all stakeholders a clear picture of the potential benefits, risks and costs associated with where a prototype might lead.The advantages of prototyping are that you: You should consider prototyping from early on-using paper prototyping, if appropriate-so the feedback you gather from users can help guide development. In prototyping, you craft a simple experimental model of your proposed product so you can check how well it matches what users want through the feedback they give. It’s an essential part of user experience (UX) design that usually comes after ideation, where you/your team have created and selected ideas that can solve users’ needs. Prototyping is the fourth phase of both design thinking and design sprints.
