SketchFlow is a cool way to mock up what needs to be done. That could
apply to a lot of projects and not just UI stuff.

Good quick overview:

They built this for Silverlight and doing UI mockups but I don't see
why it can't be used for any brainstorming flow. Whatever, it is very
cool and I really like how it draws things like they were done with a
pencil to show that it is conceptual.
