When developing software, most product teams underestimate the financial value of gathering user feedback, identifying opportunities early in the design phase, and reducing the risk of costly engineering changes later in the development process.
In fact, IBM found that fixing software in the requirements phase can take 15X less time than fixing the same defect after release.* UX prototyping is what the most efficient product teams are increasingly adopting as standard practice to save time and money while ultimately delivering a higher-quality digital product.
