The idea of ‘cleaning it up later’ is a very bad one since this will never happen in practice, leading to potential problems and instability later on. But this conflicts with one of the key benefits of being able to create prototypes quickly. Also, because of the effort that’s gone into it, there can become too much attachment to the implementation which leads to a resistance to change."

Even with dedicated development resources and constraints on the architecture or tools (that will almost certainly be present once an application moves into actual implementation and beyond 'version 1'), I think that the very nature of evolutionary development without some sort of up-front throw-away prototyping will miss opportunities for a better design. Presenting and evaluating multiple alternatives can be very tricky when you're building them into the application itself whereas a lot can be explored and learned even from quick sketches on paper. All the best, Jonathan Thanks for your comment, Justin.

Even with dedicated development resources and constraints on the architecture or tools (that will almost certainly be present once an application moves into actual implementation and beyond ‘version 1′), I think that the very nature of evolutionary development without some sort of up-front throw-away prototyping will miss opportunities for a better design.

Presenting and evaluating multiple alternatives can be very tricky when you’re building them into the application itself whereas a lot can be explored and learned even from quick sketches on paper.

I agree with everything that you've stated. I am a big fan of throw-away prototypes, however if you have dedicated development resources, and an architecture that is constrained to a specific set of tools/languages, then an evolutionary prototype can be the best model. Keep the articles coming. Thank you. Good Article. I agree with everything that you’ve stated.
