"We found that there are a number of reasons for prototyping. Some of those reasons include transitioning to a program of record," said Stephanie Halcrow.
Baroni Center Senior Fellow Stephanie Halcrow joined Federal News Network's Thomas Temin to discuss the Baroni Center's newest research examining how we can increase the prototype to production success rate.
Stephanie explained that prototyping best practices include:
-
Being specific about the problem being solved;
-
The customer fully supporting the entire process; and
-
A mutual understanding of the final result, including what constitutes a successful prototyping project.
Few systems make it to the battlefield without first having been prototypes. Yet too many prototypes don’t make it to production. Procurement analysts at George Mason University’s Baroni Center have completed a detailed look at the power of prototyping and how to get more out of it.
