WHAT IS IT?
A Storyboard is a series of illustrations or sketches depicting a sequence of events or processes performed by users interacting with websites, computers or other devices. They typically consist of a series of panels with illustrated representations of users and their experiences interacting with other users or the system. Storyboards allow design teams to convey their concepts and designs in a visual format that is easily updated and adapted to changing requirements. They are very effective in selling concepts to internal and executive teams because they visually tell the story of an intended experience in a focused manner. Though typically used in Pre-Discovery and Discovery phase of development to conceptualize ideas they can also be used in Pre-Design and Design phases of a project to explore various features.Samples
