====
Developing 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 collecting 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 expectations. The presentation will cover how to best harness prototyping tools and discuss best practices and tips for this type of prototyping.
