What is this template good for?

  • Use visual elements and storyboards to further refine and concretize the concept through user feedback.
    ‍
  • Test your concept with simple visual elements and use cases highlighted through storyboards. You don’t have to have anything built out to test it out.
    ‍
  • If you've generated multiple ideas through brainstorming, this method offers a cost-effective way to test and prioritize each one accordingly.

Best practices for concept validation

  • Create storyboards to highlight typical use cases: Develop detailed storyboards that clearly depict the concept or idea you want to test. Use visuals, text, and annotations to provide context and convey the intended use cases.
    ‍
  • Align users’ expectations: After presenting the storyboard and use cases, follow-up with questions to compare how your assumptions match with what users’ expect after seeing the storyboard.
    ‍
  • Observe participant reactions: Pay close attention to participant reactions, body language, and verbal cues as they interact with the storyboards. Note any areas of confusion, frustration, or excitement that may arise during the testing process.
    ‍
  • Iterate based on feedback: Use the feedback and insights gathered from concept testing to iterate and refine the concept. Incorporate suggested improvements and adjustments to address usability issues and enhance the user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a storyboard, and how is it used in concept testing?

A storyboard is a visual representation of a concept or idea, typically presented in a sequence of illustrations or images. It is used in concept testing to communicate and evaluate the proposed idea in a tangible and engaging format.

Why use storyboards for concept testing?

Storyboards help bring concepts to life by visualizing them in a narrative format, making it easier for participants to understand and provide feedback. They enable stakeholders to visualize how the concept will unfold and how users will interact with it, facilitating more meaningful discussions and insights.

How do you create a storyboard for concept testing?

To create a storyboard for concept testing, start by outlining the key scenes or steps involved in the concept. Then, sketch or illustrate each scene in a visually engaging manner, focusing on conveying the main ideas and interactions. Add annotations or descriptions to provide context and guide participants through the storyboard.

What are some best practices for creating effective storyboards for concept testing?

Some best practices include keeping the storyboard concise and focused on the main ideas, using clear and engaging visuals, incorporating user personas or scenarios to provide context, and iterating on the storyboard based on feedback from stakeholders or participants.
