Main Description

This tool mentor describes creating a simple low-fidelity storyboard using IBM Rational Requirements Composer. Low-fidelity storyboards are typically used for UI sketching as a way to help clarify and support requirements. They are not meant to represent the actual GUI design. The Rational Requirements Composer has powerful storyboarding capabilities that allow analysts to quickly create storyboards and link them to other requirements artifacts.

In this example (Shop storyboarding example), a storyboard is being developed for an online shopping application. Unlike use cases, which describe a complete usage of the system by an actor, a storyboard focuses on a very specific story of a persona performing a single discrete action.
