# Break story on a board that is the outline.

> Writers' room sessions with decisions, pitches, parked ideas and assignments that flow onto a story board of episodes × acts.

Run sessions around one question, capture decisions and send them to the board as beats. The board is the source of the scene outline, not a photo of a corkboard.

## Sound familiar?

- Decisions from the room get lost between sessions
- The board and the outline drift apart
- Assignments live in someone's notebook

## Questions

### Can the whole room edit at once?

Not yet. Today one person runs the session and shares the screen; everyone else reads along.

### What goes to the board?

Any decision you choose, as a beat in that episode.
