Scene-by-scene storyboard

30-second planning sequence · illustrative copy and visual direction

  1. 01

    0–5s

    Recognize the task

    Show the familiar member-list task and enough old navigation for orientation.

    On screen:Looking for workspace members?

  2. 02

    5–9s

    Previous location

    Label the old Settings then Members path as previous behavior.

    On screen:Previously: Settings, then Members.

  3. 03

    9–17s

    New route

    Cut to the current overview; show Workspace menu and People in the verified order.

    On screen:Now: Workspace menu, then People.

  4. 04

    17–24s

    Destination

    Hold on the actual member list and its workspace identity.

    On screen:Your workspace member list.

  5. 05

    24–30s

    Reference

    Keep the new path readable with any approved role condition.

    On screen:Use the new route for this task.

Make it your own

Stable task
Keep a task label recognizable across versions.
Route
Supply every required menu level.
Role scope
Use screens from the intended role.

Map the complete route

Record prerequisites such as selecting a workspace. A missing starting level can make an otherwise accurate menu sequence unusable. Check whether a renamed item also needs a term-mapping cue.

Adapt to different screens

Use a dedicated verified route for mobile rather than assuming the desktop path applies. For 15 seconds, retain the old cue, full new path and destination; remove redesign background first.

Review whether the path is reproducible

Ask a reviewer to name each required action from the initial current-version screen. Add unshown steps. Do not imply that old bookmarks redirect or that permissions changed unless the release record confirms it.

Review checklist

  • The task remains recognizable across the cut.
  • Every required current-route level appears.
  • The destination and role match.
  • Old-link behavior is not invented.
