Understanding Lo-Fi Experimentation
- Essential to validate customer interest in a solution before full product development.
- “Lo-Fi Experimentation” involves creating “pre-totypes” to assess whether a solution should be built.
- Pre-totypes differ from prototypes by focusing on market validation instead of technical feasibility.
Characteristics of Lo-Fi Experimentation
- Low cost of implementation.
- Quick and easy to create and test.
- Provides valuable insights into customer reactions.
Techniques for Lo-Fi Experimentation
