Storyboarding is absolutely the most vital part of production.
In the manga industry, nothing goes ahead unless the "name" has been approved. If something is boring, the editor will red flag.
You'll need to fix it within a very short amount of time for reapproval, so not at all a low-level skill!

Storyboarding is the first step of transforming a story/script into a coherent, consistent, and easily digestible visual narrative, from first scene to the last. It is also the last easiest step in the process to revamp and rework scenes before we move on to the more expensive parts of production.
