How do you incorporate feedback and changes into your storyboard and visualization?

1 Use a flexible tool

The first thing you need to consider is the tool you use to create and edit your storyboard and visualization. You want something that allows you to make changes easily, without losing your previous versions or affecting your workflow. For example, you can use a digital software that lets you add, delete, or rearrange frames, layers, or elements, and export or share your files in different formats. You can also use a cloud-based platform that enables you to collaborate and comment with others in real time, and access your files from any device. Alternatively, you can use a physical medium, such as paper, cards, or boards, that you can modify or replace as needed, and scan or photograph for digital backup.

2 Establish a feedback process

The next thing you need to do is to establish a clear and efficient feedback process with your stakeholders. You want to avoid confusion, miscommunication, or conflicting opinions that can derail your project or cause unnecessary revisions. For example, you can set a timeline and milestones for delivering and receiving feedback, and specify the format and channel of communication. You can also define the scope and criteria of feedback, and prioritize the most important or relevant sources or aspects. You can also request constructive and specific feedback, and avoid vague or subjective comments that are not helpful or actionable.

3 Evaluate and implement feedback

The final thing you need to do is to evaluate and implement the feedback you receive, and update your storyboard and visualization accordingly. You want to balance the needs and expectations of your stakeholders with your own creative vision and goals, and make changes that enhance your project, not compromise it. For example, you can review the feedback and identify the common themes, issues, or suggestions that emerge, and decide which ones are valid, feasible, or beneficial. You can also test the impact of the changes on your storyboard and visualization, and see how they affect your narrative, style, or message. You can also communicate the changes you make and the reasons behind them, and seek approval or confirmation from your stakeholders.
