Storyboarding • WorkshopBank
Storyboarding • WorkshopBank is a collaborative story building exercise for context sharing: it helps participants share useful personal or project context.
How to run it
- A group has generated ideas and needs to develop the most promising ones into concrete, step-by-step plans
- You want to help a team communicate a complex change by showing what will happen rather than describing it in abstract terms
- You are running an improvement workshop and want people to visualise both the current state and the future state side by side
- Multiple teams need a shared picture of how their work connects across a journey or timeline
- You want to make a strategy tangible by showing what it looks like in practice for the people it affects
- Participants draw or write in six to eight frames arranged in order, capturing what happens step by step from a defined starting point to a desired end state.
- Also Known As Visual Storyboard Scenario Storyboard When to Use It
- Space: Flat working surfaces large enough for A3 or flip chart paper per group Wall space for posting completed storyboards during the gallery walk Room for people to move between displayed storyboards
