I agree, this would be a great article. The team I am part of has currently been debating this topic and at a higher level whether or not this process should be owned by IA as opposed to using in-house developers to create an interactive prototype. We tested iRise for a few months and the general feeling among the IA’s was that it is very unintuitive and has some serious limitations when it comes to building more complex interactions that in HTML and JavaScript are accomplished very easily. Work arounds were suggested by the iRise rep, but they were not be sufficient for taking into user testing when the objective is really to test very specific interaction. Overall, our experience with iRise was disappointing. However, those of us who have demo’d Intuitec have had very good feedback and are interested in trying to use it for our next prototyping project. It would be fantastic to hear about other methods and technologies being used for prototyping.

Amy, great insight. I am the “new” and only UX’er at my job. Some of the points you make will help with my formulating arguments for changing the current inclinations… I hope. ;)
