Abstract

This chapter discusses how to prototype with Excel (or another spreadsheet application with similar functionality). It deals with the larger topic of prototyping. Although the chapter does not attempt to completely cover the topic of prototyping, it discusses prototyping as it relates to prototyping with Excel. Excel is an amazing prototyping tool, because it is the only tool that is known to combine into a single tool the advantages of prototyping flexibility, efficiency and ease of use, professional results, no requirement of special skills, and ready availability. As a prototyping tool, Excel is not only easy to use; it is quite flexible for the various methods of prototyping. One can create static screen wireframes, screens with click-through interaction and navigation, and even prototypes that can be optimized for different types of usability testing. Any stakeholder who needs to express a software idea or requirement visually or interactively should use Excel.
