In this quick video I introduce three alternatives to prototyping. Prototypes on projects can be almost a mini-project by themselves. They are time consuming and can be expensive. There are alternatives if you are prepared to consider them.

If you’d like more information on the options in this video, or to find out more about pretotyping (which I decided not to include in the video but is another valid alternative) then check out this article: Alternatives to Prototyping.

Isn't a Beta also a Prototype?

Sante, I think of prototyping as creating something that doesn't necessarily work but that shows the idea of your deliverable. A beta is definitely something that works and can be used by your stakeholders.
