His advice particularly applies to content management, search, and portal projects, where prototyping can reduce endemic scope creep and provide a master plan for implementation (which Henrik also mentions as advantages). Prototyping also comes in handy during vendor evaluations.

In that event, use the phrase "proof-of-concept" instead, because Olsen is right, there are no downsides to prototyping.
