What it is
A method for growing software products organically — from a first sketch to a running system — by doing the right thing at the right time.

Grow software products organically.
What if you could be sure that all of your team's time and resources were spent on what matters most — all day, every day?
Most popular methods either assume we already know what we're going to build by the time we start implementing, or they focus on the full design upfront, without the development team. Domain Prototyping knows great products can't be built instantly, they must evolve — and treats that as the problem to solve first: start simple, optimize for feedback and learning, gradually evolve the whole system toward good patterns, and only add complicated technology when the product actually demands it.
Why it works
Software solutions are structured and logical, but what we use them for usually isn't — it's complex. Domain Prototyping helps to always match the way we think to our current situation, so that our outcomes actually move the needle.

When we're building or improving a product, and we don't know its final shape yet. Because true innovation means going where we don't have well-paved roads — we create them.
