Instructional design/Rapid prototyping plan

Introduction

Have you, as a designer, ever had to worked under strict time, budget, and quality constraints? Of course, we've all dealt with these struggles. Managers and clients often establish high demands, pushing us to be the best designers possible. At times, it probably seems impossible to work within such confines. What if there were a design framework with which we could not only meet these constraints, but flourish within them?

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to embrace your new best friend: Rapid Prototyping.
