More rant from a former patient guy. This time, it's Product Design & Development
or PDD. It is difficult to stay attentive to today's team presentation
in PDD when 4 out of 5 presenters were rambling on and on about their
product development process in a monotonous voice.
When you are making a presentation, what are you trying to achieve?
You are presenting your ideas to the audience and so that they will
stay interested. This means that the presenter is selling to the
audience. If so, why are people still speaking in monotonous tone and
reading from the slides? Also, the presentation slide is not a written
documentation, so keep the content on the slide terse. If you need to
explain the context, do it verbally. No slide should contain more than
50 words!!! Last but not least, always present the presentation within
the allocated time slot.
