A quick insight on creating Storyboard for mobile app ideas. Any great product design and development starts with an Idea. But in today's world we need to quickly test, iterate and communicate our ideas. The Storyboard helps startups, brands, app designers, developers and testers, sketch the use cases and understand user's experience before, during and after using our mobile apps. It does not matter if our Storyboards are crude, the important point is it should communicate the use case and app's idea and vision to users, investors and team members in a simple and intuitive manner. I hope everyone finds this useful. In case of any questions please feel free to give me a shout at pmgupta911@gmail.com. Please mention the subject as 'Storyboard for Apps'

- A lot think they are not good at drawing :(
- Can we relate is the key in drawing
