Before starting a sprint, the team should test user flow–separating this from storyboarding saves time and stops the storyboarding session from stalling or getting off track
Supplies: Post its, voting dots, sharpies, a timer, music if you want
The exercise takes 15-25 mins
1. Write 6 action steps. One step per post it to document each click/tap required for a user to complete a task (8 min)
- The goal here is to align the team on necessary steps so you don’t have to debate them during story boarding
- Start with beginning and end steps, then go back and fill in connecting steps
2. Each team member puts their flow on the wall as they quickly walk the team through them (1 min)
3. Other members put their flows underneath the first one
4. Dot vote on the test flows–the decider gets 2 while everyone else gets 1
5. The decider picks which test flow to use for the storyboard. They are able to add in one step from any of the other flows (for example, a push notification)
