8. Paper Prototyping
• learn to create a working paper
prototype for testing
• prototyping tricks for simulating
different kinds of user interfaces

12. Paper Prototyping
• Fast and inexpensive
• Identifies problems before they’re coded
• Early and frequent feedback from users
• Low opportunity cost
• Helps developers think creatively
• Jot notes on the mockups
• Foster teamwork and communication

13. When to do it?
• Teams with non-technical members
• High level of uncertainty
• Experimenting with solutions

15. Let’s get started!
• Pick 1 main user goal. Sketch flow of screens
needed to accomplish this 1 task. 5 min
• Using cards, postits, tape, etc., design a
working paper prototype.
• Test. List issues and possible design changes.
• Implement most important design changes.
• Test again.
• What did you learn?
