Storyboarding
Storyboarding is a visual planning technique used to outline and sequence ideas, processes, or narratives through a series of sketches, diagrams, or frames. In software development, it helps map user interactions, workflows, and system behaviors to ensure clarity and alignment among stakeholders. It serves as a blueprint for designing user interfaces, features, or entire applications before implementation begins.
Developers should learn storyboarding to improve communication with designers, product managers, and clients by visualizing complex requirements and user journeys. It is particularly useful in agile and UX/UI design contexts for prototyping, identifying edge cases early, and reducing rework during development. Use cases include planning mobile app flows, website navigation, game mechanics, or any interactive system where user experience is critical.
