The best way to learn about rapid prototyping is to see a visual of the process. Below is a diagram that reflects how the method works.
[[File:Rapid Prototype.jpg|A rapid prototype framework.]] Courtesy of [http://ramsoft.net/ ''<i>Ramsoft Consulting''</i>], this diagram reflects the everchanging nature of designing a product.
The beginning of the model can be connected to the end, as it repeats in a cyclical nature.
The process begins with '''Analysis and Quick Design'''. This can observe and test an existing idea, often ending in a desire to change a current system. After the system is observed, initial changes are made.
After this process is completed, '''prototype cyclesP''''''rototype Cycles '''work to implent changes, which are continually'''T''''''ested'''. The cycles consist of '''testedDevelopment, Demonstration, and Refine'''. These allow solutions to be created, implemented, and revised. These cycles are replicated at each step of the way. If the cycle proves to be successful, through the initial processes of '''analysis A''''''nalysis and quick designQuick Design''', it is deployed until further change is needed or desired.
