    The document discusses different types of prototypes including throwaway prototyping and evolutionary prototyping. Throwaway prototyping involves creating a model to obtain user feedback before full development, while evolutionary prototyping builds portions of the system that are understood and evolves the prototype into the final product. Prototypes also vary in terms of fidelity from low to high, and interactivity from static to interactive. Different tools can be used depending on the fidelity and interactivity needs, from hand sketches to development tools. The key steps outlined are to gather requirements, develop initial static prototypes, obtain feedback, develop interactive prototypes, and iterate before freezing the design.

    Why Bother Prototyping?
    •  Serves 2 main purposes
    –  To clarify user interface to user and/or developer
    –  To clarify functionality supported
    •  Benefits:
    –  Reduce cost & time relative to building full product and
    iterating.
    –  Can involve other stakeholders such as non-engineering
    founders into product discussions
    –  Increase product quality by ensuring UX & UI are clear before
    implementation

    Types of Prototypes
    Throwaway Prototyping Evolutionary Prototyping

    •  Create a model of the final system that •  Build only those portions of the system that
    the user can evaluate. we understand and slowly working our way
    to other portions.
    •  Once feedback is obtained, design &
    requirements are frozen, development •  Development team creates a system with
    begins and the prototype may be the features that are well understood
    discarded. •  Prototype evolves to become the final
    •  Relatively fast method of prototyping product

    Types of Prototypes - Interactivity

    Interactive Static
    •  Reacts to user’s input. It is clickable and •  Series of screens
    allows the user to enter input into forms. •  Can help focus on content
    •  Simulates how the final product will work instead of minor details

    Tools for Prototyping
    Fidelity/ Tools
    Interactivity

    Low Low fidelity, static prototype: hand-drawn sketches

    Medium/High Medium/High fidelity static prototype: drawing tools


    Static like Photoshop, Visio or Powerpoint

    Medium/High Medium/High fidelity interactive prototype: wireframing


    Interactive   tools like Axure, Balsamiq, and OmniGraffle

    Evolutionary prototype: development tools like Visual


    Evolutionary
    Studio & Eclipse

    Practical tips on Prototyping
    •  Gather requirements
    •  Develop initial prototype that is static and of low/medium fidelity
    •  Get initial feedback
    •  Develop interactive prototype of medium to high fidelity. Get
    feedback and iterate
    •  Freeze design and proceed to development
