2. For the system you are developing, which stakeholder would you do storyboards for? Why?
3. In the movie industry, “Storyboards are often used to sort-out errors in logic in the plot.” What is the equivalent benefit for software systems?
4. What advantage does the Google Chrome storyboard (in the slides) depict? What equivalent could you use, to highlight the main advantage of your project system?
5. Assume you are a project manager at IBM. Your group has been tasked with developing a next generation social networking tool. How could you use storyboards to communicate gathered requirements to your user base?
6. Look at the “As we may think” article mentioned in the slides. Sometimes, a verbal description can serve a similar purpose to storyboards. (The last slide is an extra credit assignment on this article.) When might you want to use this verbal alternative to storyboards?
7. The authors of the web article have obviously highlighted the storyboard benefit that they liked the best. Which of the other benefits they list do you think is most important in software development, and why?
