A storyboard is an essential part of the creative process for any new project in almost any setting.

Walt Disney had mastered the storyboarding technique and made it a process within Disney before the production of big movies that made the company successful over time. The storyboard allowed Disney to share and make them understand the vision of the project. It is famously noted that Steve Jobs brought the love for aesthetics within Apple’s UX from a calligraphy class he had at the university. Thus, when you do find valuable thinking tools borrowed from other disciplines, it’s interesting to notice how they create value in the business world.

Storyboards are used by many businesses today for planning advertising campaigns, commercials, events, proposals, and other presentations intended to influence or call to action. Storyboards are also used for accounting to develop flowcharts to measure the cost of consumable resources, identify and eliminate added expenses, determine metrics, and perform performance optimization. It can help you plan out strategies, campaigns, or even event launches. Storyboards are also helpful when revamping websites and blogs to visualize what works best before implementing changes across multiple platforms. By taking the time to create a storyboard, you increase your chances of success with any new project.
