Conclusion
- iterative procedure is essential -> can help to fix big issues first
- constant feedback during all design phases is central -> novices have a different point of view
- interdisciplinary team is important -> different experts can round off the product
“good prototyping can help designing a product according to the
wishes of the targeted users”
