Many words saved
January 20, 2010Thought for the day:
If a picture paints a thousand words, think how many words you can save by creating an interactive prototype of your next software development. Think of how much easier it will be for people to understand what it is that you’ll be creating. Think of how the process of creating and demonstrating your prototype will highlight shortcomings in your design. Think of how much misunderstanding you will avoid, and how that will help your actual development set off on the right path. Think of the how much time will be saved by not building that feature that your users really don’t want. Think how much time will be saved by not missing that key feature that your users really do want.
Many people view software prototyping as something that’s only really worthwhile on larger projects. This couldn’t be further from the truth: prototyping brings benefits to almost any non-trivial software development.
