PPT outline workflow

Purpose

Plan a presentation before creating slides.

Inputs

Use provided materials, such as:

• project notes

• user-provided audience and objective

Process

1. Clarify audience, objective, decision needed, and time limit.
2. Define the core message in one sentence.
3. Build a storyline before page details.
4. Create a slide-by-slide outline.
5. For each slide, specify title, key message, supporting points, suggested visual, and speaker notes.
6. Identify missing data, weak evidence, or unclear audience needs.

Recommended structure

1. Audience and objective
2. One-sentence core message
3. Storyline
4. Slide outline
5. Speaker notes
6. Missing information

Rules

• Prefer decision-oriented slide titles over topic labels.
• Use evidence from materials for claims.
