Storyboarding

The idea with storyboarding is that you plan your video, animation or presentation. There are different ways to do this, depending on what you are making and what works for you.
One possible template is provided by the Center for Digital Storytelling. This is a pdf showing ten shots on a page. It has lines for images, transitions, effects, voiceover and soundtrack. If this looks good to you feel free to print it and use it. You can also see an example of a completed storyboard and the story that goes with it.

Action Plans

To write an action plan, you need to do the following things. You can choose whether you want to use a Word table or an Excel spreadsheet or another method of organising your thoughts.

1. List all the steps you need to take a to solve the problem.
2. Put the steps into order.
3. Include testing the solution if you have not done so.
4. Include consultation with clients and stakeholders if you have not done so.
5. Decide on milestones. A milestone will occur after a group of related steps have happened. An example of a milestone might be "All resources have been located and saved".
6. Set target dates for each milestone.
