The Storyboarding Workshop

Storyboards are typically developed either at the end of the Ideation phase or at the start of the Prototype phase. By visually detailing the ideas, storyboards allow for a clearer understanding and assessment of each proposed solution's potential and practicality.

When to Use

Storyboards are typically developed either at the end of the Ideation phase or at the start of the Prototype phase. By visually detailing the ideas, storyboards allow for a clearer understanding and assessment of each proposed solution's potential and practicality.

How to Use

• Sketch Three Stages: Use a black felt-tip pen and A4 paper to draw your solution. Choose the three most important steps in the journey and illustrate each on a separate sticky note or section.

• Clarify: Add notes around your sketch to explain key points, aiming for your storyboard to be self-explanatory.

• Title: Give your sketch a catchy title at the top of the page.

• Display: Place or upload your sketch in the team's workspace.

• Heatmap: Each team member adds dot stickers to parts of sketches they like.

• Straw Poll: Everyone votes for their favourite solution sketch.

• Round Robin: Each person gets 90 seconds to talk about their vote.

Use the vote and discussion to select one sketch for further detailed storyboarding or prototyping.
