Functional Prototype Three
Due Tuesday, April 19
Overview
Use the feedback received from your second user study to create your third functional prototype.
Purpose
Functional prototypes are an important part of the iterative design process. Prototypes expose both good and bad features and functionality when there is still time to make corrections. They also allow you to gather feedback which can be used to further modify future designs. Demoing your team’s prototypes will also help you gain experience making presentations and answering questions.
Format
Each team will be given 20 minutes to show off the current version of their project. Your instructors and fellow classmates will provide you with feedback on your design and ask you questions throughout your demo time. Demos will be more relaxed and open than final presentations, so enjoy presenting and interacting with the other groups.
This is your last chance to gather feedback on your project before the final presentation! Your team will need to outline which features will be implemented between now and your presentation, and which features you will be dropping. Be prepared to justify these choices.
Grading Rubric
You will be graded on the perceived amount of work done since your last prototype and on how well you are sticking to your project plan. Any changes in design should be justified. Remember, part of iterative design is incorporating changes and feedback. This is taken into consideration when grading your prototypes. If you show up with a great prototype, then you will receive a great grade to go with it.
