Visual Studio 2012: Improving User Stories and Requirements with PowerPoint Storyboarding

For Visual Studio Premium and Ultimate users there is a great new add-in for PowerPoint that can really help you called the PowerPoint Storyboarding add-in.  Using this feature you can quickly draft an interface design and get stakeholder feedback.  Plus, since it’s PowerPoint, even stakeholders can change elements easily to show you what they really want.  Let me show you how this works.

 

Getting Started
To get started just go to the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 program folder and select PowerPoint Storyboarding:
