2. Divide and conquer

Once you've selected your tools, it'll be time to assign some jobs.
Prototyping works best when you assign specific roles, similar to the
Roles
⁠
you assigned at the beginning of the sprint.

A. Set prototype roles

The
@Facilitator
⁠
should help the sprint team divvy up these jobs:
