Initial Prototyping Results

This is a suggested outline for the Prototyping results document. Adapt as you see fit.

1. Objectives

- Describe the critical issues and risks that the prototype is attempting
to describe, any uncertainties that the prototype is trying to adress

2. Approach

2.1 Participants

2.2 Prototyping

3. Initial Results

For each aspect of the system that you prototyped, describe the:

a. Current way of performing activity
Example: "Currently, to reserve a room, patrons go and look at the Facility schedule and look for empty slots"

b. Proposed way of performing activity
- Include screen shot of relevant prototype screen
- Brief explanations on how system will be used as illustrated by prototype screen (You may annotate explanations directly on screen shots)
- You may propose multiple screens, and indicate which one your client preferred (or maybe hasn't decided yet which one to use).
Example: "ScreenName1: After entering date, Patron clicks on 'Find Unused Time Slot' button to obtain a list of all the time slots when the Seaver Auditorium is not booked. ScreeName2: Patron enters Date and Time, and clicks on 'Check for Availability' button, to obtain whether the Auditorium is available on that day and time, or not. The patron keeps trying until he finds a available slot".

4. Conclusions

List by order of priority the items that you will be looking into next, i.e., the most critical risks that you hope to elicit by doing further prototyping
Example: "Current prototype suffers from navigability problems: the client complained that she was getting lost. We will be looking into improving usability and navigability using frames, site map, etc..."
