Recommend keeping bullets brief, not paragraphs. Generally we try to follow the rule. Quite simply, this “Rule” says that each PowerPoint slide should have one main idea, a maximum of six bullet points, and a maximum of six words per bullet point. Obviously that rule is trumped by being able to truly get the thought and point across. Consider who will be briefing and receiving this information and how. If personnel will be reviewing independently, more may be needed on the slide itself, or details provided in the notes. Consider using pictures, charts or images, but be sure that we have the rights to use them before including them, and if data is perishable or dated, mark it accordingly.
