A required slide for most proposals. Typically, a budget committee will review at least 5 proposals at every meeting, so they’ll need a way to quickly remember which project was yours.
The team slide is an essential part of the deck when presenting to most budget committees. After all, they want to know who is going to be spending their money.
The project timeline slide is an essential part of any deck. In this case, the client wanted a simplified Gantt chart that would show just the major steps of the project.
Of course, every budget committee wants to know what something will cost. That’s their whole reason for existence! This was a cost projection for a simple project: Some on-prem servers and per-employee software licenses.
Somewhere, usually in the pitch’s early slides, there will need to be a shot of the product in use. After all, you want the budget committee picturing what their money is going to buy. Words are necessary for this, but they are not enough. You need images too.
One of our clients was pitching to a budget committee that had been burned by projects staffed by inexperienced implementation teams, so it was especially important to represent the combined experience of this team.
