    The value of being able to be hands-on with some crappy prototype is invaluable, you get requirements creep caught as part of the initial requirements.
    Very much a necessity to prototype where I am.

    Costly "mistakes" can be made otherwise.

      I suppose prototypes are a part of waterfall and classic methodologies anyway, but in Agile the "make one to throw away" idea is replaced with continuous refactoring. All those little details you get even in a prototype are valuable. Unless your prototype is "I knocked this up in VBA+Excel during lunch".

        With BI it's usually make one and shove it live

        "But the numbers haven't been tested, it was just for look and feel"
        "And it looks and feels good - get it promoted to live!"

        The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

            Not my fault that my prototypes are better than the other team's end product.
