Storyboard

A storyboard in UX is a tool that visually predicts and explores a user's experience with a product.

Why it matters

It borrows film’s cheapest trick: experiencing a sequence before building it. Drawing the moments around the product — not just its screens — is what surfaces the requirements nobody wrote down.
