Time

Cost

Explanation:

As designers transition from a wireframe to a low-fidelity prototype, the most significant difference is the level of interactivity, or ability to “click” from one screen to another.

QUESTION 3 OF 39

What is the goal of creating a low-fidelity prototype?

Make it easier for engineers to value the design

Create a complex and interactive design that’s ready for development

Make designs testable to collect and analyze feedback early onCorrect Answer

Create a complex and static design to show stakeholders

Explanation:

Low-fidelity designs are simple, interactive models that provide a basic idea of what a product would look like. Whether it’s in paper or digital form, the goal is to make the designs testable so the team can collect and analyze feedback early on.

QUESTION 4 OF 39

Why is it beneficial to build paper prototypes? Select all that apply.

Easy to interpret

Allows rapid iterationCorrect Answer

InexpensiveCorrect Answer

Low commitmentCorrect Answer

Explanation:

Due to the nature of creating paper prototypes, it’s easier to create prototypes and ideas quickly. They’re relatively low -commitment and inexpensive too. Explanation: Since paper prototypes only require a writing or drawing tool and paper, they’re relatively inexpensive to create. For the same reason, they’re easier and less painful to eliminate if they don)t meet user needs, and they allow for rapid iteration Explanation: Digital prototypes often take a lot longer to create, so when it comes time to eliminate ideas that don)t meet user needs, it may be tougher to part ways with them. Paper prototypes, on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive and quick to create, which makes them less of a commitment.

QUESTION 5 OF 39

In which situation is building a paper prototype most useful? Select all that apply.

They’re also useful during early product testing in order to provide visual portrayals of potential solutions. Explanation: Paper prototypes are great to build during early product testing, especially if there are ideas that need to be clarified with visual portrayals. Paper prototypes are also useful during brainstorming sessions.
