A talk with Michael Arent, VP of User Experience, SAP Labs. Prototyping is often seen as a monolithic endeavor performed in two ways- LoFi and HiFi with one tool. As reflected in our book Effective Prototyping for Software Makers we believe any software tool is a potential software tool and there are a wide variety of prototyping methods (some 17 and still counting). The lighting session would entail a quick demo of different easy to use prototyping tools (Jonathan) and a demonstration of the various prototyping methods (Michael). The session can also plan a Master Class where people can show their own prototypes, or prototyping issues and discuss how these can be strategically resolved instead of just pragmatically.
