Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations Discussion
Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations Discussion
Introduction
One concern about visual presentations is that the technology used to create them can be used in such a way that it actually detracts from the message rather than enhances it. To help you consider carefully how your message is presented so that it reflects care, quality, and professionalism, consider the information provided in the remaining slides.
NOTE: This presentation serves as an example in itself, by utilizing all of the guidelines mentioned.

Writing
Present ideas succinctly with lean prose.

Develop an agenda or outline slide to provide a roadmap for the presentation.
Group relevant pieces of information together.
Integrate legends and keys with charts and tables.
Organize slides in logical order.
Present one concept or idea per slide.
Use only one conclusion slide to recap main ideas.
Audience
Present information at language level of intended audience.

Follow the 70% rule—If it does not apply to 70% of your audience, present it to individuals at a different time.

Keep layout and other features consistent.
Use the master slide design feature to ensure consistency.

Use animations only when needed to enhance meaning. If selected, use them sparingly and consistently.

Use bullets unless showing rank or sequence of items.
If possible, use no more than five bullet points and eight lines of text total per slide.
Tables
Use simple tables to show numbers, with no more than 4 rows x 4 columns.
Reserve more detailed tables for a written summary.
Font
Keep font size at 24 point or above for slide titles.
