Today, we're diving into how to create an impactful presentation. What do you think the first step is when preparing your slides?
Maybe we should outline the main points we want to cover?
Exactly! A clear outline is essential. Let's ensure we start with the business problem, followed by our proposed solutions. Can anyone suggest what elements we need to include about our solution?
We should add user stories and diagrams.
And also the next steps for the project!
Great ideas! Remember to keep your slide deck conciseβideally 6-8 slides max. This leads us to slide design. Could anyone share tips for visual clarity?
Using bullet points and images can help keep it engaging!

Who here has heard of recording a presentation walkthrough?
I think itβs a great way to reach a wider audience who can't attend live.
That's right! Recording allows for a flexible review. What are some other benefits?
We can review our delivery to improve future presentations.
And it gives us a chance to showcase our hard work after the project is done.
Exactly! Adding a recorded walkthrough is a great way to reflect on your work and share it. Remember, flexibility and accessibility are key.

Phase 5 focuses on synthesizing the results from the prior phases into a presentation format. Learners summarize the business problem, proposed solutions, user stories, diagrams, and outline the next steps for project implementation. This phase emphasizes clear communication and presentation skills necessary for effective stakeholder engagement.
Phase 5 is a crucial step in the business analysis lifecycle where students are required to create a summary presentation that encompasses the entirety of their project. This phase allows students to consolidate their work into 6-8 slides that provide a comprehensive overview of the business problem, the scope of the solution, the user stories created, and relevant diagrams like use case and activity diagrams. Additionally, students must outline the next steps to advance the project.
Key deliverables include a well-structured slide deck, which could be in PDF or PPT format, and optionally, a recorded video walkthrough to accompany the presentation. This phase not only assesses the studentsβ ability to summarize their analysis effectively but also tests their presentation and communication skills, which are vital in engaging stakeholders and driving projects forward.

β Create a summary presentation (6β8 slides max)
β Include business problem, solution scope, user stories, diagrams, and next steps
In this step, you are required to prepare a summary presentation that is concise and informative. The presentation should not exceed 6 to 8 slides, focusing on effectively communicating key elements of your project. You must include:
- The business problem you are addressing with the project.
- The scope of the solution proposed, detailing what it will achieve.
- Key user stories that summarize how different users will interact with the system.
- Diagrams that illustrate the system's design or flow, such as use case or activity diagrams.
- Clearly defined next steps that outline what will happen after the presentation.
Think of creating this presentation like preparing a pitch for a new restaurant idea. You need to clearly explain the problem (for example, too few quick lunch options in your area), showcase what your restaurant offers (solution scope), highlight how customers will order their meals (user stories), use visuals to show your restaurant layout (diagrams), and explain how you plan to open the restaurant (next steps).

β Present your project to peers or mentor (live or recorded)
Once your summary presentation is ready, the next step is to deliver it. This can be done live, where you present in front of your classmates or colleagues, or recorded if you prefer to present asynchronously. The goal is to explain your findings and the solution proposal effectively, engage your audience, and respond to any questions they may have. The delivery of your project is crucial, as it demonstrates your understanding of the material and your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.
Imagine you're in a classroom presenting a science project. You need to explain how your experiment works and why it matters, while also being prepared to answer questions from your classmates and teacher. It's important to practice your presentation so you can speak confidently and clearly, just like you would in this project presentation.

π Deliverables:
β Slide Deck (PDF or PPT)
β Optionally, record a 5-minute video walkthrough
In this phase, the deliverables consist of two main items. First, you must prepare a slide deck that summarizes your project findings, which can be submitted in PDF or PowerPoint format. This slide deck serves as your main presentation material. Additionally, you have the option to create a 5-minute video walkthrough of your project. This video allows you to visually and verbally present your work, which can be a helpful supplement to the slide deck, offering more depth and personal engagement.
Consider a chef preparing a dish for a cooking competition. The recipe card (slide deck) provides the judges with the ingredients and steps involved while the optional cooking video walkthrough shows the chef in action, explaining the cooking process. Both elements enhance the judges' understanding of the dish and the chef's techniques.
