There are 2 types of prototype:
- Throwaway
- Quick and dirty. Given to the customer for feedback then thrown away once the information has been gathered.
- Used when critical features are poorly understood.
- Evolutionary
- Quality. Given to the customer for feedback then modified once the information has been gathered. This process is repeated until the product is completed.
- Used when critical features are well understood but how to combine or present them needs customer feedback. Also used for feedback on minor features.
