What prototyping method should I use?

What do you hope to achieve? What answers will you get from a prototype?

Do I need a physical prototype? – Can it be digital or a sketch or does it need to be physically manipulated?

Low/high fidelity – Are you looking at form or function. High fidelity prototypes are needed where verification and validation of the design is required.

Cost/Benefit – Typically the higher fidelity prototypes cost more. What benefit will you get from a higher fidelity prototype compared to low fidelity?

Time – Is there a time pressure? Some prototyping techniques are quicker to set up and complete than others

Availability – Do you have access to the equipment needed?

Ability – Can you make the prototype? Will someone else be needed? See again cost /benefit question.
