Abstract
In an Agile environment where the requirement elicitation
is a continuous process, low-fidelity prototypes are
increasingly important. Collocated Agile teams often use
the traditional whiteboard to draw these prototypes and
discuss it with the customer in the release planning
meeting preceding each iteration. For the same purpose,
SMART Boards are also being utilized by some Agile
teams. A study to compares prototyping using both tools
was conducted in an academic setting showing an equal
preference for both tools with the whiteboard being
perceived better in terms of readability and the SMART
Board being deemed a better means of sharing. With
tools having different pros and cons, it was suggested that
both tools can be utilized in release planning meetings to
do different kinds of tasks or to accommodate different
room settings.
