Use of the Template

This template is a resource to help your team develop your project presentation for the CS&E program. It is aligned with the Improvement Model to help your team communicate your story of quality improvement.

The suggested topics in the template are provided to help facilitate the development of an effective presentation – they are not required content. Feel free to customize the template to fit your project and presentation style.

Please keep the presentation format in mind as you develop your slides. Your team will have 20 minutes to present their final presentation. Groups typically allow 15 minutes for slides and 5 minutes for Q&A. It is recommended that teams review or practice their presentation together to ensure a tight, focused and valuable delivery.

See Appendix A for guidance about the Improvement Model
