Explanation:
The Prototype Phase is also called the “Proof of Concept” Phase. Whether it’s called one or the other
depends on what the creator is trying to “prove.” If the main deliverable of the Phase includes a
working version of the product’s technical features, it’s a “prototype.” If the main deliverable justlooks like it has the product’s technical features, then it’s a “proof of concept.” Prototypes can save
time and money because you can test some functionality earlier in the process. You don’t have to
make the whole final product to begin testing it.
