6 Steps to Elevate the Quality of a Project Presentation

6 Steps to Elevate the Quality of a Project Presentation

With the growing trend of companies operating in a "flat" structure, adopting situational leadership and project-driven strategies, it’s worth considering some important and specific points when it comes to project communication.

Check out these 6 steps to take your Project Presentation to the next level:

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
First and foremost, ensure that your project is aligned with the company’s STRATEGY.
Without strategic alignment, there’s no success.

WHAT IS THE REAL OBJECTIVE OF YOUR MESSAGE?
Before structuring the content and visuals of your presentation, reflect on your primary OBJECTIVE. In other words, by the end of your speech and presentation, what RESULT do you want to achieve?
Build the rest of the content around your main objective.

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE WELL
Before you start preparing your presentation, take time to analyze your audience’s profile and, if necessary, adapt your language and communication style.
Especially for projects, this step is critical.

STRUCTURING
When preparing content to be shared in projects, remember to structure it thoroughly. The time of those involved in the project is precious, so the more structured and objective your presentation is, the higher your chances of success.

The SMART method can be an excellent tool to help with structuring:

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time-Based

PREPARE FOR QUESTIONS & INQUIRIES
Questions will undoubtedly arise during or at the end of your presentation. Be well-prepared to address them.
Tip: Include a Q&A session at the end of your presentation and make this clear to your audience at the beginning of your talk. This will help you stay focused and manage time effectively during your presentation.

LESS IS MORE
Lastly, remember the old advice, which, when used wisely, is invaluable: LESS IS MORE—even in project presentations.
