Rapid Wireframes to Prototypes with Fidelity Modes
A practical resource explaining how to choose and use different fidelity modes in rapid prototyping to align team understanding and streamline design iterations.
This page describes the concept of fidelity in prototypes — from low-fidelity sketches that focus on structure and flow to high-fidelity interactive mockups that resemble the final product — and explains when to use each based on learning goals and audience.
It offers guidance on balancing speed, clarity, and feedback quality, helping teams avoid unnecessary details early on while ensuring stakeholders can give meaningful input. The resource also provides examples and tips for transitioning between fidelity levels as a project evolves, so that prototypes support effective collaboration, testing, and decision-making throughout the design process.
