Master the Essential Steps of Rapid Prototyping and Create at Hyper Speed
Understand why prototyping works, Plan and run a rapid prototyping session, Recruit a team to prototype, Validate Problem Solution Fit
We are at war with guessing and wishful thinking regarding new product ideas. We saw the embarrassing failures of Zune, the Fire Phone, Segway and countless others. Their common trait - they were just guesses.
Had they checked the product early with users, they could avoid failure and worked with them to build a worthwhile product. The good news is that you don't have to repeat the mistakes of the past.
You should adopt a Pordicut Discovery process at the start of the journey, and essential to that is rapid prototyping. It is so vital that I have just made a fresh new course on rapid prototyping.

Rapid prototyping is a powerful tool for product designers and entrepreneurs because it allows them to quickly and efficiently test and validate their ideas while minimizing the time and resources required for product development.
Here are a few reasons why rapid prototyping is so powerful:
- Iteration: Rapid prototyping allows designers and entrepreneurs to iterate on their ideas quickly and frequently, allowing them to refine and improve their product designs in a much shorter timeframe.
- User Feedback: By creating prototypes, designers and entrepreneurs can get feedback from users early in the design process, which can help them identify potential issues and make adjustments before investing significant time and resources into development.
- Cost-effective: Rapid prototyping is often much more cost effective than traditional product development methods, as it allows for quick and low-cost iterations and modifications.
- Time-efficient: Rapid prototyping also helps save time in product development, allowing designers and entrepreneurs to identify and resolve issues quickly, avoiding delays later in the development process.
Rapid prototyping allows designers and entrepreneurs to quickly and efficiently test and refine their ideas, leading to better products and a more streamlined product development process.
