UI Storyboards: An important part of every information architects job is to understand product requirements and create a visual storyboard. UI storyboards great for creating a common understanding of requirements within the primary stakeholders – product management, engineering & marketing. Clarice customers have used UI storyboards for: - Engineering for reference and specification
- Product Management for customer validation
- Marketing & Sales for demos
With a storyboard we can present as frames each step in a sequence of user interactions. Viewing the interaction in a story format helps to refine the interaction and provide feedback for user testing.Well designed UI storyboards when developed early in the product development life cycle can reduce your risk significantly – you can see shape of your idea before spending dollars on developing it. Our experience with product companies indicate that visual storyboards are much more confirmatory than textual specifications. Our customers have used the storyboard to get key stakeholders aligned to the common product vision.  A typical storyboard for an enterprise product is about 15/20 screens woven together in Flash or HTML package. We take about 6 to 8 weeks to develop a storyboard from start to finish and involves very close co-ordination between Product Management & Engineering. The process is fairly iterative of understanding user goals, analyzing use cases and creation of low fidelity wireframes.
