\n====
\nDeveloping applications in a
  global, corporate environment can be particularly challenging considering 
 barriers to communication and agreement. Rapid prototyping using tools such
  as Axure Pro can help bridge these gaps by providing a powerful way of col
 lecting and refining requirements in a global, dispersed setting as well as
  providing a practical UI framework for local or remote development teams. 
 It is also very helpful for determining project scope and setting client ex
 pectations. The presentation will cover how to best harness prototyping too
 ls and discuss best practices and tips for this type of prototyping.
