3 Steps to Better Presentations

Tomorrow, I will be speaking to the Fresno County Office of Education on the subject of Scrum and Teamwork in general, reviewing the accomplishments Decade Software has made over the last few years.

This afternoon, I will be meeting with those who will present classes at the Decade Software User Training Conference next month.

...so I found Peter Stev's thoughts today quite timely.

"How will I know if the audience is getting what they need? Why didn’t I think of this sooner? The answer is simple: identify the users, figure out what they want to accomplish and why. Give the audience what they need to accomplish their most important goals. If you can identify and address their needs even before they are even aware of them, magic happens."

Check out his full post, and let me know what you think.
