Q

What is a prototype?

A

Simulates a working product
Simulates the interactive experience
Allows the product to be tested with users
Communicates the solution to stakeholders
Prototypes are a work in progress
The purpose of the prototype is to improve the design

Q

How can a prototype help manage stekaholders?

A

Communicate design ideas clearly
Reduce ambuigity - everybody is talking about the same design
facilitates executive feedback and buy-in
facilitates better decision making
showcase design flare (shows the benefits of good design)

Q

What are the benefits of medium fiedelity prototypes?

A 
More detailed concepts and flows
Screen layout and hierachy
Basic interaction
naviagtion
copy and labeling
17
Q

What are the benefits of medium fiedelity prototype?

A

sill cheap
Better to test with users
easier to communicate with stakeholders
richer data and insights

18
Q

What can you learn from high fidelity prototypes?

A 
Access flows and concepts 
access screen design and layout
acces data in/data out workflows
access the performance of form design
test rich interactions, such as mapping
19
Q

What are the benefits of high fidelity prototypes?

A

Ability to convey rich interactions
Stakeholder management
Richer data and insights

20
Q

What is the process for creating a low fidelity prototype?

A

Define the flow
Sketch screens and screen states
Sketch elements
Sticth together

21
Q

What are the pros of low fidelity prototypes?

A

Quick
Cheap
Manipulate on teh fly
Validates ideas early

22
Q

What are the cons of low-fi prototypes

A

limited learning

could be difficult for testing participants

23
Q

What is the process of creating a medium-fi prototype?

A 
Screens sketches and flow diagrams
choosing the prototype tool
build the screens
incorporate text and labels
incorporate inetractions
24
Q

What are the pros of medium-fidelity prototypes?

A

value for money
relatively quick
requires attention to details
forms teh basis for wirefreames

25
Q

What are the cons of medium fidelity prototypes?

A

learning curve required
tools are not free
capable of creating only limited interactions

26
Q

What is the process for creating a hi-fi prototype?

A 
Starting point is creen sketches and flow diagram
Choosing the ptotoype tool
Build the screens
Incorporate text and labels
incorporate interactions
27
Q

What are the benefits of testing hi-fi prototypes?

A 
Testing flows and concepts
Testing screen design and layout
Testing data in/data out workflows
Tesing the performace of form design
Testing rich interactions
28
Q

What are the pros of hi-fi prototypes?

A 
Allows for rich interactions
Deepst user insight
Allows testing of visual style
Ability to iterate quickly
forms the basis for wireframes and spesifications
29
Q

What are the cons of hi-fi prototypes?

A

Difficult to know when to stop
Learning curve required
Time consuming
Not cheap

30
Q

What is a wireframe?

A

A wireframe is like a blueprint for builders. It is filled with guides and spesifications

31
Q

What is ture about wireframes?

A

Static
Not suitable for usability testing
blueprint for development
includes annotated notes or system rules

32
Q

What is true about a prototype?

A

Interactive
reccomended for usability testing
aid for development (don’t use alone)
typically no annotations

33
Q

What should a handover documentation intel?

A 
Hierachy = Information architecture
Structure = user flows
Content = Wireframes
Rules = Wireframes
34
Q

What is information architectiure?

A 
How a website is structured
How content is organized
Influences primary navigation (but not all navigation)
Defines where content lives
Big impact on the user flow
35
Q

What is user flow?

A

Unserstand where it sits in the structure
Understand its sequence in teh main flows
Be consious of different screen states

36
Q

What are wireframes?

A

Contains the rules of how the product should behave - and all the different states

37
Q

What should annotated notes intel?

A

Define how the system behaves
How it responds to actions
How it communicates results
How it helps fulfil inentions

38
Q

What is important to remember when it comes to annotated notes?

A

Proof read in one go
Use another set of eyes
Go though with the developers
Be open to chaning the rules - as long as it does not interfare with the user flow or user experience
