STORYBOARDING - Theory

HOW TO DO STORYBOARD?

1. Preparation Phase: 
1. Prepare user scenarios: short stories that describe your persona's needs, motivations, and context, and the way they interact with THE PRODUCT to reach their goals and needs. Each scenario contains -  persona, situation, and the need and also shows how the product/service satisfies this need.  
2. Scope: 
1. Current state storyboard
2. Future state storyboard
2. Storyboard creation
1. Brainstorming and writing the script (write a text-based on scenarios)
2. Trigger, prob points, struggles, character actions, problems, and etc. need to be represented in the storyboard. 
3. Benefit and reward.
4. Key touchpoints, mood changes, emotional changes, etc. need to be shown. 
5. Location, time of day, weather, disturbing things need to be there (if they are essential; skip unimportant parts).
6. Focus on interaction / not about art. 
7. Design the frames -- Think about the steps. 
8. Less is more, reduce visual noise. 
9. Use one post it for each frame.
10. Get instant feedback and adjust accordingly. 
11. Modify/finalize based on feedback. 
12. Socialize the storyboard.
13. Summarise findings and iterate

Sketching for UX Designers

Just-in-time (JIT)

JIT is:

• a set of principles, tools and techniques.
• that allows a company to produce & deliver products in small quantities. 
• with short lead times. 
• to meet specific customer demands. 
• allows you to be responsive

JIT delivers the right items at the right time in the right amounts. 

The best example of JIT is in supermarkets where items are replenished at the rate at which they get cleared (purchased) from the shelves.
