The Good Risks to Manage
Stakeholders will see deliverables sooner and get client feedback sooner
Initial deliverables will be low fidelity
We can quickly bring ideas to life We need stakeholders to commit time to work with us
We can get quality customer feedback fast Customers may say things the stakeholders don’t want to hear
We can pivot The stakeholder may not want to pivot
We will save money by not working on the wrong ideas
We’re going to get a lot wrong before we get to the right thing
WHAT SHOULD WE
PROTOTYPE?
DO

Solve today’s problem
Focus on the most important or risky features/assumptions
Do just enough for customers and stakeholders to judge value and no more
Set a schedule, get commitment on the team’s time and appoint an enforcer
DON’T
Solve tomorrow’s problem
Spend time on features that aren’t differentiators (log-in)
Obsess over an icon, the function of a control or making sure it works in another browser
Waste time talking when you could be doing and testing
HOW DO WE
TEST WITH CUSTOMERS?
