Following the creation of your Google Slides presentation using the status report template, this video delves into the process of adding crucial text to your progress report. The template’s slides offer designated areas for personalized headings, subheadings, and content. Commencing with the title slide, you can modify the template by highlighting and typing to give your presentation an apt title that encapsulates the essence of your project. Additionally, include your name or your company’s name along with the presentation date for context. The subsequent template slide serves as a space for a project overview or description, presenting an opportunity to provide your audience with a holistic perspective on your project’s deadline, current status, and major risks or potential challenges. Adjust the heading text to align with your project specifics and customize the content based on the presentation audience. Drawing on information from your earlier project charter, you can input the deadline and identify potential problems on this slide, offering a concise snapshot of your project.
Moving forward, you proceed to populate the bulleted list under the Recent Progress heading. If you’ve completed the project tracker, leverage the task list from that spreadsheet to fill in this section with updates on two specific tasks. Alternatively, if you haven’t completed the project charter or tracker, craft your own overview on this slide, incorporating a deadline, two progress updates, and a risk or potential problem for your project. With this, you’ve laid the foundation for an informative progress update, signaling to your audience what to anticipate from the presentation and providing them with a comprehensive view of your project’s current status. The upcoming video will delve deeper into adding more intricate project details to enhance the overall presentation.
