Held a good brainstorm session with my team where some conflict had arisen over the boundaries of what should be termed a 'prototype'. The team reached agreement that a prototype was anything during the design process that is testable with users, from a lo-fidelity wireframe to high-fidelity graphical mock-up to a clickable, interactive walkthrough to a quick and dirty 'throwaway' build. Good for the team to have absolute clarity especially given that some were new to product development, and a good lesson for me not to automatically assume that team members understand product design concepts. Everyone found it a really useful session. 🙂
