Questions for Prototype Interviews

• What part of the prototype do you think will be most beneficial...
• What part do you think will be least helpful?
• Were the steps in prototype easy to follow?
• Do you think the proposed medium will be effective?
• How did you feel about the number of recommended resources -- i.e. too few, too many, or just enough?

MEDIUM OPTIONS

1. Print - What and why?
2. Physical - resources, products, games, fun gadgets or party boxes to make the night fun
3. Digital -
1. Keynote of slides (easier to team editing)
2. Invision (made of connected JPEGs; more realistic and individual experience)
1. Made of designs built in Slides and exported to JPEGs

1. Start with an opening scene: where will your users first naturally encounter your prototype?

Examples: in a f2f interaction, in the web store, in a web search, magazine, church bookshelf,

on social media (FB, Twitter, Instagram), in their email inbox, etc.

​

1. Draw that in your first frame.

​

1. Take the flow step-by-step, drawing in each frame.

​

1. When there’s a gap in the flow, don’t fill it in unless it is critical to testing the validity of your prototype.

1. If there is a gap to be filled, try to use existing sketches/ideas from your “maybe laters.”

Key Principles

​

• Work with what you have, don’t try to come up with new ideas. Use the winning sketches and components whenever possible.
• Don’t group write—write in “tbd” for headlines/copy, or use writing from the pre-existing sketches.
• Only add in enough detail so it’s clear what happens next. You can add in notes like “whoever makes this section can decide the details of what goes here.”
• Conserve decision-making energy—rely on the Decider, don’t dissolve back into democracy.
• When in doubt, take risks—prototyping is great for testing risky solutions.
• Make sure the whole prototype can be tested in 15 minutes.

​

• Assign Roles
• UX (Maker) - Structure of and media (i.e. online/ offline for each section) > Tags writer
• Writer - Defines content segments, determines assets needed, assembles content segments, and writes copy
• Resource Collector - Collects content (e.g. links, content blocks, etc.)
• Visualizer - Collects or creates visuals (e.g. quick sketches, stock imagery, etc.)
• Stitcher - Takes all individual pieces of prototype and edits to ensure everything flows together with continuity
• Determine Tools & Process
• What tools are we building in?
• How are we using tools (e.g. commenting, tagging, setting to-dos, handing-off)?
• Discuss an Asset Plan

Questions to Answer:

​

• Medium (i.e. in a f2f interaction, in the web store, in a web search, magazine, on social media—FB, Twitter, Instagram, in their email inbox, etc.):
• F2f / word of mouth from friend
• Time box: 1 month
• Key features:
• Celebration moments
• Mission/Purpose includes meeting the needs of others

​

Storyboard Structure

​

• How will they intersect (opening scene)?
• Program recommended by friend within a homeschool network who texts other friend a link
• What is the end goal (closing scene)?
