How do I define the scope for a prototyping project?
First, clarify what you want to achieve with the prototype. Think about the main feature or function. Make a list of the things that are most important. This will help the prototyper understand what to focus on.
What should a successful prototype include?
A good prototype should show how your product or idea works. It doesn't need to be perfect, just clear. Focus on key user interactions. It should tell a simple story and help people see the vision.
How do I assess the skills of a prototyper?
Look at their past work for similar projects. Check if they have a style you like. Ask if they have experience with the tools you need. You want someone who can make your ideas come alive.
How can I communicate my vision clearly to the prototyper?
Use simple words and visual aids if you can. Make sure you have a document with all your ideas. It’s like a map or a drawing of your dream. This helps the prototyper know how to start.
How do I set clear deadlines for a prototype project?
Decide when you need the project done before you start. Break the project into smaller steps. This can make it clearer how long each part might take. Setting deadlines helps everyone stay on track.
How often should I check-in with the prototyper?
Set regular times to talk, like once a week. This helps solve problems early. It’s like checking your car to make sure it's running well. Regular updates keep the project moving smoothly.
What deliverables should I expect from a prototyping project?
Expect a model that shows the main ideas and functions. This can be a sketch, a digital model, or an interactive version. Make sure it answers the key questions you have about your project.
