Week 1: Kickoff PowerPoint Presentation
1. You must recap your project plan, getting everyone in agreement for project, while you motivate and inspire your team and stakeholders. Introduce and give thanks to team members who have worked hard to get the project to the
implementation phase. Give comments that help the teams realize that they are important. Discuss each team member’s role in the project. Everyone in the room is important and vital to the project’s success.
2. You must have at least 33 slides. It is important to note that if you could not give your presentation and someone would have to stand in for you, he or she would need to know what you were going to say. All slides except the title
slides and reference lists must have speaker notes so that someone may step in for you.
3. Judiciously include visual elements such as charts, graphs, tables, relevant pictures and/or cartoons.
4. Maintain the 6 x 6x 6 rule for a professional PowerPoint presentation: no more than six lines per slide, six words per line, and six slides without a graphic.
5. Ideas and information from professional sources must be cited correctly, using the current edition of the APA manual.
6. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, references, and citations are consistent with formal academic writing.
