How To Connect With Stakeholders Through Prototyping
summary
Claim: a prototype is worth a thousand meetings and prototypes cut decision time by showing actual interactions not abstract descriptions. Concrete advice: pick fidelity and type, use Envision + Maze for happy‑path testing, or sketch a phone and run a role play like the paper iPhone with actor Elmo demo made in an hour. Expect messy demos (Steve Jobs‑style happy paths) and always use real content and invite the right, challenging stakeholders so the prototype reveals how people actually behave.
