Hello Articulate Community!
When I prepare to create a new course, I like to have a storyboard because it allows me to get all my thoughts and images on paper. It lets me organize the course, assessments, and anything else I think is needed. Very similar to Jonathan Hill, I use a system where each scene goes on a piece of paper. ( I wish my budget was larger, and I could afford sticky-notes!)

I use the transcript from my meetings with the SMEs as a script and adjust where needed. I have tried creating courses without an outline, and although they are good, they are better when I actually plan things. I'm also very lucky and blessed to have stakeholders who trust me.
