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.
All slides must have speaker notes so that someone may step in for you should you not be able to give your presentation. Speaker notes should not be just a repeat of what is on the slides but should provide the detail that may not be included on the slides. Slides should contain bullet points highlighting the “big points” without excessive narrative; your speaker notes then provide this narrative to expound upon what is in the bulleted information.
