5-Day Prototype

This template helps you quickly prototype and test ideas using a structured, five-day framework. The method consists of simple tasks and tools that guide you step-by-step through the process.

A prototype is an early and simplified version of your product – it can be anything from a paper sketch and an interactive model to a physical 3D print. The goal is to determine whether your idea works before investing significant time and money into developing a final solution. Prototyping provides valuable insights that can either elevate your idea to the next level or prevent costly mistakes along the way.

How the process works:

Day 1 – Understand and Define We start by identifying the problem and setting clear goals. Who are the users? What do we want to achieve?

Day 2 – Ideation The team sketches solutions based on the goals, and we select the most promising idea.

Day 3 – Storyboarding Transform one or more concepts into simple stories that explain how the user can achieve their goals.

Day 4 – Building the Prototype An interactive prototype is created – either digitally, physically, or as a combination.

Day 5 – Testing and Feedback We test the prototype with real users or customers and gather valuable insights.
