Prototyping lets teams validate ideas early, uncover usability issues, and confirm requirements before investing heavily. It reduces risk by aligning stakeholders on how the product should behave, saving time and budget that might otherwise go toward incorrect features.

From my experience, prototypes spark quicker feedback and creative solutions. Users can interact with early concepts, helping refine design, navigation, and functionality. This leads to clearer expectations and more confident planning for development stages.
