Prototypically Speaking – The Software and Requirements Prototyping Blog

Sometimes it’s useful to focus on the benefits of doing things in a particular way.

Software Prototyping has many real benefits, but here are some of the main ones:

1. Clarify requirements;
2. Increase understanding of a conceptual system;
3. Provide design focus and direction;
4. Compare alternative design choices;
5. Involve business stakeholders;
6. Involve end-users;
7. Help visualise and model workflows;
8. To identify things that won’t work early;
9. To demonstrate how a built system will work;
10. To gain support from senior management or investors.

So, if you’re holding back from trying it, don’t!
