Service Prototype

Description:
Prototyping is used to improve your service step by step and prepare it for real use. The idea is the same as product prototyping - it's about taking an idea into the real world.
Prototyping is a great tool to nip service delivery problems in the bud. Even in live operation, you can change and improve the service, which is what you're going to get anyway.

Keywords:
prototype, MVP, test, design, service

Motivation:
Prototyping will save you a lot of money and energy, because when the service is live, you'll only be tweaking the details and not the essentials. If your prototype succeeds, the real service is much more likely to succeed.

Requirements/Prerequisities:
communication skills, paper or digital model

Level:
concret: specific best practice (e.g. use microservice)

Application domain:
Medicine/Healthcare, Education (Technology enhanced learning), Data science (analysis & visualisation), Industry (Production), Mobility, Energy, Software engineering

Main phase:
Development: Testing
