These are examples, and you should input your specific project information where
applicable. With PowerPoint, you can copy these slides into your PPT format and they
will take on the overall design and color scheme that you would use for any other
presentation.
These pages are set up to show all the phases, but depending on the timing of your
presentation, you will use only those pages that apply based on where you are in the
DMAIC cycle
You may wish to add other pages, such as more graphs or maps; however, keep the overall
number of pages to a minimum, and don’t forget, you can always add more detail in the
appendix to use as back-up, if you need them.
There are a couple of different ways to show next steps depending on your preferences
and data; use at least one method at each presentation.
You should have a project plan that you can update and present at each formal
presentation.
The best presentations have these components;
 Introduce the team, giving credit to everyone involved
 Current status
 Key findings/concerns (bullet points and/or graphs)
 Next steps
