Power Point and efficiency

Posted by admin on April 6, 2010 in PM work life, Product Managment Work Experience |

I have a couple of year experience in working with Power point and not once happened to me to have a presentation that was ok.

At my last job every presentation had at least 5 version, because everybody who seen it had a new idea of how the graphic would look better and hoe the red can be changed in dark red and a comma can be inserted.

After any presentation that I had to prepare, I was feeling confuse: the dark red, has to be switched into light red and next day in red and the day after that in dark red.  After some bad experience, I decided to first agree with my managers the content of the presentation and ask for further advices regarding the format. (Now it seems stupid, but this method has reduced the time need for finishing a presentation from 1 week to 1 day).

Looking back … this may be a good definition for “office time lost” :D

The video below is very interesting, although I have never done such a presentation because people want to see:

  • bullets
  • and
  1. numbers.
