EXAMPLES OF RAPID DIGITAL PROTOTYPES

Clickable prototype

Simulating basic user interaction of the planned product without coding a single line. Helps in validating that the solution is addressing the core problem in the right way.

Effort estimation: up to a week
Example: construction management application showed to technical managers demonstrating the concept

Functional prototype

Captures all the functions and appearance of the intended product design. Gives full transparency before development works are started.

Effort estimation: up to few weeks
Example: scanning application prototype highlighting all features to understand the complete user experience

Hardware environment simulation

Simple software simulating a hardware component. Replaces hardware prototyping or accelerates project when hardware is not yet available.

Effort estimation: up to a month
Example: enabling RFID scanning applications to work without real scanners by creating mock data input


BENEFITS OF BUILDING RAPID DIGITAL PROTOTYPES

Market validation

User feedback on prototypes helps to discover real problems and gives a higher probability of creating solutions addressing true market needs.

Reduced time-to-market

Regular iterations within the prototyping phase makes the concept evolve in an efficient way, leading to a fully functional product.

Reduced costs

Demonstrating tangible prototypes helps in decision making before significant investments are made or unseen costs arise.

Stakeholder involvement

Parties are involved from the very beginning to exchange ideas and contribute to the development of the final product.

RAPID DIGITAL PROTOTYPING PROCESS

The rapid prototyping process requires the participation of various parties. MONDRIAAN facilitates the communication between all stakeholders and ensures that the tangible outcomes not only meet the expectations of the project owner, but also appeal to the end users.

Reach out to us to understand the ideal stages of the prototype creation, which can be simplified in case of smaller development projects. MONDRIAAN connects you to real users to move forward in a lean manner.

START WITH MONDRIAAN
PRODUCT DISCOVERY SPRINT

Goal: validate core business model & value proposition
Participation: product, brand or innovation team

1. Problem & value proposition discovery

Analyse the focal problem and create solution alternatives.

Results:

  • Target audience description

  • Problem definition

  • Value proposition draft

2. Market research

Discover which questions shall be answered before development plans are finalized.

Results:

  • Hypothesis setting

  • Hypothesis validation

  • Research evaluation

3. Value proposition planning

Understand the perspective of the key target users to clarify outstanding assumptions.

Results:

  • Context, user journey context definition
  • User Experience design
  • User Interface designs
  • User testing

4. Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development

Build a product with enough features to validate the market need.

Results:

  • MVP development

  • MVP distribution among test users

  • Product development continued in Execution sprint
