Weekly Wonder: Essential Elements for Engaging CUG Presentations

[#1]

Hi CUG members👋!

As you collaborate with your CUG Leadership Team (LT) to prepare for an upcoming meeting with your users, it’s essential to structure your presentation deck effectively to ensure it makes a lasting impression. This week, we are addressing the following important question:

"What are the key elements we should include in our CUG presentation?"

To help you create an impactful and relatable presentation, here are some recommended elements to consider:

1. Select a Current Use Case: Present a relevant use case from your organization or team that showcases how an Atlassian product has enhanced your workflow. This real-world example demonstrates the solutions value in action.

2. Proof Points: Highlight specific metrics that illustrate the effectiveness of your initiatives. For instance, you might discuss improvements in team visibility, accountability, or faster decision-making achieved through the use of an Atlassian solution.

3. Addressing Pain Points: Clearly outline the challenges your team has encountered and how the solution has helped alleviate these issues. This connection makes your presentation relatable and shows your audience that you understand their struggles.

4. Show Hands-On Solutions: Consider incorporating a live demo or screenshots of your workflow in action. This visual component can engage your audience and provide them with a clear understanding of the solutions capabilities.

5. Highlight Features Available and Coming Soon: Share the current features accessible to your users, as well as if there are upcoming features that will enhance their experience and collaboration.
