Presentations Checklist [Workshop Material for Free]

This Presentation Checklist is the crux of my three years of blogging. This was given out as handouts to all the students who attended my Presentations Workshop "Making a Powerful Point" at SCMS(UG) at Pune.


There are four stages of a presentation.
  • Context
  • Content
  • Design (slide design) and
  • Delivery
This checklist contains tips on all these stages. This checklist will give you an overview of how to make a presentation step-by-step. However, this checklist does not contain sample slides I presented at the workshop or the discussion we had there. That will be covered in future posts gradually.


Go through this checklist and use it as a tool to make effective presentations. It will also ensure you do not make the common mistakes which you normally make in your presentation.

  1. I agree with these 4 stages of a presentation. If it is needed, the point 0 could be "research".

  2. I have placed research under Stage 1 and 2. Depending on the nature of research, it will come in Context or Content.
