Explanation

Prototyping is the best technique when stakeholders struggle to articulate what they want. A prototype - a visual mockup, wireframe, or working model - gives stakeholders something concrete to react to, which surfaces requirements faster and more accurately than verbal descriptions. This is especially valuable when the team is schedule-constrained and needs requirements quickly. Interviews and brainstorming still rely on stakeholders being able to describe features verbally. Workshops are helpful but don't solve the core problem of stakeholders who cannot visualize the product without seeing it.
