Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping prioritizes speed, so it’s limited in scope—but even a quick mockup can stress-test and improve a product design. The three-step rapid prototyping process is basically a loop that repeats until you’ve got a prototype that resonates with your users. The main steps are:

1. Build: Create mock-ups of a design concept or flow, keeping your users’ needs and company’s goals in mind.
2. Review: Test your prototype with target users and key stakeholders to learn whether it meets expectations.
3. Refine: Adjust the prototype based on the feedback you receive.
