==When should we '''not''' use Rapid Prototyping?==
You should '''not''' implement Rapid Prototyping techniques if:
:*an inexperienced designer is working with little supervision. "Designers unfamiliar with the discipline required to perform thorough front-end analysis and formative evaluation could actually prolong the process by repeated, unconstructive model building."
:*the scope of the project is undefined or appropriate resources are not available.
