Prototypes are tools that help you communicate your ideas. They also help you answer specific questions to find out if you're heading in the right direction.

When it comes to launching a new product or feature, risk is a reality. At Headway, we believe in reducing risk by running behavioral experiments with the target market. That allows us to pinpoint what customers need and how to build a business to support those needs.

We believe prototypes don't require code to get the answers you need to invest in new ideas. That way you can validate concepts for new products or new features faster.

In this Open Office Hours discussion Andrew and Ryan will unpack ways to think about testing behavior, and how to find out if your customers are compelled by what you’re offering.

Learn when, why, and how to use prototypes to acquire actionable customer feedback. Quickly get your solution concepts in front of customers for feedback before you invest capital into building a product or new feature.
