TLDR: Skip the fancy prototypes! Low-fidelity sketches are fast, cheap, and encourage better feedback – perfect for early UX stages to focus on functionality before aesthetics.
basic is still the best?
I’ve made a few assumptions here, first… you work in UX. Second, you’re familiar with Agile and third, you haven’t much time so I’ll keep this brief. Straight to it, here is a couple of the main advantages of low fidelity prototyping:
- Get better and more honest feedback
- More involved collaboration
- Make the cost of mistakes cheap, not expensive
- Refine the page flow, not the pages
- Figure out the interaction design rather than the visual design
