Choosing the right approach to prototyping
- Before the advancement of computer technologies, prototyping had been about creating a fully functioning version of a well-defined concept. Today, it's an exercise valuable throughout the design process, where we can learn about technologies, validate concepts, and perform user studies just to name a few. This prototyping revolution has introduced a slew of new tools, technologies, and approaches. So how do we select the right approach? For many, this is a dark art that's hard to get right. One of my favorite modern proverbs is, you can have a good, fast, or cheap, but you cannot have them all. I will let you in on a little secret. Picking the right prototyping approach is about framing the output appropriately. We frame it by focusing on speed, precision, and depth. Using that output, we'll identify the two categories that align closest with our goals. Lastly, we'll use these to create a framing statement that becomes our selection criteria for the prototyping approach. Here's a…
