Prototype

When all your sketches, ideas, decisions comes together into a realistic prototype you can test with customers.

Great work! You’ve identified a problem and sketched some compelling solutions. You’re ready to prototype a working solution.

The goal is to create a facade that appears to work, just enough to demonstrate to a customer what a real solution might look and feel like.
