Prototyping in Design Thinking - Worksheet

What is the primary purpose of creating a prototype in the Design Thinking process?

• To showcase the final product

• To explore and visualize ideas for potential solutions

• To reduce production costs

• To create a final version of the product

Which of the following is a characteristic of a low-fidelity prototype?

• High level of detail

• Expensive to produce

• Simple and quick to create

• Fully functional with high user interaction

What is a key benefit of rapid prototyping?

• It allows for quick user feedback

• It helps you create a perfect solution right away

• It allows you to learn and iterate on your ideas quickly

• It leads to a final product without changes

Which prototyping method involves using paper or simple materials to represent ideas?

• High-fidelity prototyping

• Digital prototyping

• Paper prototyping

• Wizard of Oz prototyping

Why should you start with low-fidelity prototypes in the Design Thinking process?

• To create a polished final product

• To save time and resources while testing ideas

• To impress stakeholders with visuals

• To launch the product immediately

What is the Wizard of Oz method used for in prototyping?

• To create digital models of the prototype

• To simulate a concept or system without building the actual technology

• To refine the final prototype based on feedback

• To develop high-fidelity prototypes quickly

Which prototyping technique involves role-playing and simulating the user experience?

• Paper prototyping

• Wizard of Oz prototyping

• Experience prototyping

• Wireframing

What is a key advantage of creating multiple prototypes in the Design Thinking process?

• It leads to a perfect solution immediately

• It allows you to explore different ideas and refine them

• It eliminates the need for iteration

• It reduces the cost of development significantly

What is the role of feedback during the prototyping phase?

• It is optional and can be skipped

• It helps refine the prototype and improve its design

• It is used only in the final stages of development

What type of prototype would be most appropriate to use during the early stages of Design Thinking?

• High-fidelity prototype

• Paper prototype or low-fidelity prototype

• Functional prototype

• Final product
