Guidelines for building a prototype

• Take the first step and start to build the prototype.

• Don't procrastinate.

• Don't waste too much of time on building a single prototype.

• The prototypes must be built with the end user in mind.

• The prototype must not beamere piece of trash; it must create an experience for the user.

• Think of open questions that the user can shoot towards you when he presences the prototype.

Once prototype is developed, next steps:-

• Taker the end user through the prototype and let him/her experience it completely.

• Throughout the experience, make the user speak about his/her moment-by-moment experience.

• This will help you as a design thinkers to capture the minute details of the experience.

• Try to actively observe and enthusiastically engage with the user during the experience.

• Once the experience is over, follow up the user who had the experience with a set of questions.

• It will be better if the set of questions is not imprompter and is prepared before hand.
