PowerPoint/Keynote Presentation Checklist

PowerPoint / Keynote Presentation Checklist

Checklist ensures you effectively use PowerPoint or Keynote (or any other presentation software for that matter) in a presentation. Remember, the software is only a supporting tool for the real substance of the presentation, which is the person speaking!
 
  • Mark all that apply.
  • Do your slides contain the right content targeted towards the audience?
  • Have you included any supporting materials such as hand-outs?
  • Does the content of the slides support and accent the points you are making in your spoken presentation?
  • Do you require speaker's notes so that you do not make the mistake of reading directly from your slides?
  • Have you rehearsed your presentation to check for timing and ensure there is congruence and flow between your slides and your spoken message?
  • Is the formatting and 'look and feel' consistent throughout your slides?
  • Do the slides contain appropriate multimedia such as charts, graphics, videos, etc.?
  • Is your font size large enough for the space you will be presenting in?
  • Does the space you will presenting in have the right technology to support your slides?
