The Groups Involved in Prototyping

In the course of this book, it should have become clear that, whatever form it takes, prototyping invariably means a departure from traditional ways of thinking and working in software development. And this has — as we have repeatedly seen in the previous chapter — repercussions for the groups involved. Following the division adopted so far, we now go on to consider what the effects are on the three main groups involved in the design of prototyping processes: the developers,the users, andthe management (a distinction being made in specific cases between user management and DP management).
