I develop prototypes with a mixture of confidence and uncertainty. This approach is based on hard-won experience, and holds true regardless of the stakeholders involved, the complexity of the project, or the timeline. In the best cases, I derive confidence from participating in an open process that produces a thorough requirements document. In all cases, my uncertainty comes about because I’ve worked on too many projects where the requirements documents have proven to be incomplete.
