Visualize solutions within the user's context. Think through the end-to-end experience. Communicate ideas visually and identify gaps in the user flow.
Completed storyboard and visual narrative that communicates concepts.
Artistic skill isn't important; stick figures work. Focus on the narrative and user experience. Each panel should advance the story. Show the user's environment, not just the product. Include emotions and reactions. A common mistake is focusing on product features rather than the user's story. The storyboard shows ONE scenario, not all use cases. Use after the concept is somewhat defined but before detailed design. Storyboarding can reveal gaps in understanding the user's context. Sometimes participants struggle to avoid making every panel about the product itself; remind them to focus on the user's journey.
