What is a Storyboard

A Storyboard is a visual narrative tool that sequences illustrations or images to show how a user might interact with a product, service, or experience. It tells a story through a series of scenes, helping teams understand and communicate user journeys.

Components of Storyboards

Essential elements include:

  • Scenarios: Specific situations or use cases
  • Characters: Representative users in context
  • Actions: Key steps or interactions
  • Emotions: User feelings and reactions

When to use Storyboards

Create storyboards when visualizing user scenarios, communicating design concepts, exploring user journeys, or presenting ideas to stakeholders. They're particularly valuable for understanding context and emotional aspects of user experiences.

Benefits of Storyboards

Storyboards help teams visualize user context, build empathy, identify potential issues, and communicate concepts effectively. They transform abstract ideas into tangible narratives that stakeholders can easily understand and discuss.
