Low-fidelity Prototypes ✔✔Quick and cheap way of prototyping to test broad concepts and mental models. Medium Fidelity Prototypes ✔✔Cheaper and easy-to-test way of prototyping to test more detailed concepts and flows. High Fidelity Prototypes ✔✔Prototyping the product with the closest resemblance to the final design in terms of details and functionality. Handover Documentation ✔✔Must show:
