Why prototyping validates design ideas in Figma - Dashboard Impact

Dashboard Mode - Why prototyping validates design ideas

Goal

Understand how prototyping helps confirm if a design idea works well before full development.

Sample Data: Prototyping Feedback Summary

Test ID	Feature Tested	Users Tested	Positive Feedback (%)	Issues Found	Iteration Needed
1	Login Flow	10	90	1	No
2	Navigation Menu	8	75	3	Yes
3	Checkout Process	12	85	2	Yes
4	Search Function	9	95	0	No
5	Profile Settings	7	80	2	Yes

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Average Positive Feedback
  Formula: (90 + 75 + 85 + 95 + 80) / 5 = 85%
  Shows overall user satisfaction with prototype features.
• Bar Chart: Issues Found per Feature
  X-axis: Feature Tested
  Y-axis: Number of Issues Found
  Visualizes which features had more problems during testing.
• Table: Iteration Needed
  Lists features and whether they need redesign based on feedback.
• Pie Chart: Distribution of Features Needing Iteration
  Slices: Yes vs No
  Shows proportion of features requiring changes.

Interactivity

User can select a feature from the table or bar chart. Selecting a feature filters the KPI card and pie chart to show feedback and iteration status only for that feature. This helps focus on specific design areas.

Self Check

If you add a filter to show only features where Iteration Needed = 'Yes', which components update?

• KPI Card updates to show average positive feedback for only those features.
• Pie Chart updates to show distribution for filtered features.
• Bar Chart updates to show issues found only for those features.
• Table shows only features needing iteration.

Key Result

Dashboard shows user feedback on prototype features to validate design ideas and identify needed improvements.
