Rapid Prototyping Techniques

Summary

Quickly testing an idea with the minimum necessary fidelity — paper prototypes, clickable low-fidelity wireframes, or even a rough Figma mockup — to validate direction before investing in full polish.

• 1Build a rapid, low-fidelity prototype for a new idea in under an hour.
• 2Test it with one person and gather feedback before refining further.
• 3Learn to match prototype fidelity to the question you're actually trying to answer.
