Week 15 — Lesson 3: Presenting in five minutes

3 min

On presentation day you have five minutes to explain your NorthPeak project. Five minutes is about 600 spoken words: six slides, one idea per slide, one chart per idea, and the number you want people to remember said twice. This lesson covers the slide plan with its timing, what to show and what to say on each slide, and why a screenshot beats a live demo.

The slide plan

Five minutes is about 600 spoken words. That is not much. The plan below has worked for every technical talk of this length. Time each slide when you rehearse.
