Rapid Prototyping has become the key to effectively speeding up this process. Doing this rapidly and iteratively generates feedback early and often in the process, improving the final design and reducing the need for changes during development, Lyndon Cerejo inputs to Startups in Design Better Faster with Rapid Prototyping. What is Rapid Prototyping? The old adage, “a picture speaks a thousand words” captures what user interface prototyping is all about: using visuals to describe thousands of words’ worth of design and development specifications that detail how a system should behave and look, whether it be a website or application, and validating it with a broader team of users, stakeholders, developers and designers. The Rapid Prototyping Process — the spiral cycle:
- concept definition
- implementation of a skeletal system
- user evaluation and concept refinement
- implementation of refined requirements
- user evaluation and concept refinement
- implementation of refined requirements
