As a result, many instructional designers have addressed this perceived shortcoming in ADDIE by taking a cue from software developers. Iterative rapid prototyping. Iterative rapid prototyping is a way to do ADDIE without constraining yourself to a sequential waterfall, and thereby increasing efficiency and lowering cost without sacrificing quality. In fact, you may actually increase quality. The key is to start prototyping in the very early stages of a project. Just when you are beginning the analysis phase. As you are assessing needs and sourcing content, you build a prototype of what you imagine will be the finished product.
