Thursday: Prototype

4. Do a trial run

Run through your prototype. Look for mistakes. Make sure the Interviewer and the Decider see it.

We like to do our trial run around 3 p.m., so that we still have enough time to fix mistakes and patch any holes we find in the prototype.

Have everyone pause work and gather around, and then ask the

@Stitcher⁠

to walk through the entire prototype, narrating as he goes. The primary audience for the trial run is the

@Interviewer⁠

, who will be talking with customers on

Friday: Test⁠

.

Before doing the trial run, it’s also a good idea to review the

4. Sprint questions⁠

and

3. Storyboard⁠

.
