Abstract

Presenting scenarios, or user tasks, in the form of storyboards is a common technique in the field of HCI. A storyboarding approach, called SVSb ('simple and visual storyboards'), is proposed. The aim is to create storyboards that are simple and easy to construct and modify, but still communicative and descriptive enough. The storyboards include elements such as context, user, user goals, plans, evaluation, user actions and system events. The rationale of SVSb and experiences on using the approach in a case project are described.
