This document discusses rapid prototyping and its benefits over traditional software development. Rapid prototyping allows building clickable prototypes quickly (within a week) to get early user feedback, reduce risks and costs, and bring complex designs to life. It provides an interactive experience to help stakeholders understand designs better. While prototypes may lack database storage or some features, rapid prototyping helps test concepts before full development and ensures projects are on the right track earlier. Custom apps developed through rapid prototyping offer ownership of source code and support packages.

1. What is Rapid Prototyping?

2. Beyond standard Intranet

3. 6 main reasons to build a custom app
within the Intranet.
1. Work Smarter 2. More efficient & 3. Better collaboration
Cost Saving
4. Using Excel 6. Creating A
(Spreadsheet) is no 5. Security & Access Competitive
longer sufficient Control Advantage

5. Example Custom Web Apps
Custom Timesheet App
Custom Project
Management
Software
Competitor Analysis Portal
KPI Dashboard
Stock Management
System
Audit & Compliance Tools

6. Traditional Software Development Model

7. Problem..
No one has the time
to read „thick
specification‟
Can‟t test the
product early
„Proof of Concept‟
Complex specification is
difficult to fully
understood

10. Benefits:
Benefits
1. It‟s an interactive, engaging experience.
2. Get real feedback as if the software is being used
3. Bringing complex Web Application designs to life in short time
4. Everybody can understand – easy to review with team members
5. Reduce Risk &Cost
Example of clickable prototype Web Application

11. Time to get user‟s feedback
Without Rapid Prototyping
3-6 month
Time required to completely develop software before user‟s feedback can be given
Rapid Prototyping
1week
Average time to produce “rapid prototype” to get user‟s feedback

12. Rapid Prototyping Options:
3 Days
1. Simple App Package
(fixed cost)
2. Standard Web App 5 Days
Package
(fixed cost)
3. Complex Web App
>5 days
Package

13. Typical Timeframe
1week 1week 1week

14. Limitations:
1. Doesn‟t store any data (No database)
2. Final product will be more refined
3. Some interactive features might not be able to be replicated

15. Few points about bespoke app…
1. You own the source code
2. Framework code is encrypted (ESCROW agreement
available)
3. Support Package available – ensuring compatibility with
future framework
4. Dedicated Development Team to support the app
