What’s wrong with this team?

how can I make my demo most effective?
Set the stage
Reference your customer
Tell a story so they understand why this functionality / service / infrastructure is important
Speak loudly
Speak slowly
Tell them what you're doing before you do it
Don’t click as fast as you would using the product
Don't use speed keys
listen.listen.listen.
engage.
Practice your demo (at least once)
Know your stuff – whatever it is
Setup in advance and have all of your data
available
Remote desktop to another box for demo
Stay on-time – respect your audience
Have pre-defined links for all demo logins
With a complex demo, have one person talk, another navigate
Shift-click to open browser windows to get back to a previous spot quickly
If you’re used to using a Mac, rehearse on a PC, sprint review laptop will be a PC
storytelling is crucial.
Think Benioff.
Now that the demos are over…
