Exercise 1.14: how could we arrange this? There are many ways we can organize the content that we present. Storyboarding allows us to plan the order and consider different arrangements in light of who our audience is and what we hope to achieve when we communicate with them. Look at the potential components of a storyboard in Figure 1.14 (which are presented in no particular order) and answer the following questions. BACKGROUND DATA ANALYSIS PROBLEM STATEMENT RECOMMENDATION FINDINGS Figure 1.14 Potential components of a storyboard QUESTION 1: How would you arrange these components into a storyboard? (What would you start with? What would you end with? How would you order the topics in between?) What drives your decisions on how to order the content? QUESTION 2: Let's say you made some assumptions about the data as part of your analysis. At what point in your planned arrangement would you include this? Why is that? QUESTION 3: Assume you are presenting to a highly technical audience and anticipate there will be a lot of questions and discussion about the data and your analysis. Does this change how you would order your content? Are there additional elements you would include or remove? QUESTION 4: Imagine you have a solid understanding of the data, but that there is important context that your audience will need to contribute in order for everyone to understand the full picture. Does this affect how you would arrange your content? Where and how would you invite audience input? Would you add or remove any elements? QUESTION 5: Assume you are presenting to senior leadership. You recognize that you'll only get a short amount of time (perhaps even shorter than your allotted time slot on the agenda). Does this change how you would order the content? Why or why not?
