Book review: paper prototyping

Jakob Nielsen is back on form with a review and commentary on paper prototyping. To quote:

Paper prototyping isn't used because people don't think they will get enough information from a method that is so simple and so cheap. It feels like you're cheating if you attempt to improve your project without investing more of the sweat of your brow. "It's too easy; it can't work" goes the reasoning, and "we should wait until we have a better user interface before we show it to customers." Wrong. If you wait, it will be too late to translate your usability findings into needed changes in your design's direction.
