Summary
Within a group that already is familiar with the problem to solve, generate Storyboards within a limited amount of time. About 10 – 15 minutes for 20 frames usually suffices to finish the task without getting lost in details.
Step-by-step
  1. Be clear to communicate the amount of frames and time to all participants.
  2. Each frame should contain what is happening during the story on this relative point in time.
  3. Let the participants provide a title to the Storyboard.
  4. Let everyone present their Storyboard. Have a round of constructive criticism and discuss all Storyboards.
  5. Provide everyone with a quick briefing on the problem that needs to be solved.
  6. Provide every participant with pens and paper.
