Friends, A colleague of mine gave me this interesting point on presentations. Simple, practical, and as assured by my friend, quite effective.
It is called the golden thumbrule of presentations:The 10/20/30 rule.
A Power Point presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points!
Interesting to note. Please try it out for your comments.

It depends..! ..Currentlky on a presentation...i used around 30 slides for 30 mins approx, and the font size usually depends on the reach of the audience, the distance u r to speak out till..! Anyways, its something to take care of, and such rules r not always effective. It is a personal and situational demand..!

I don’t think we can use this formula per se. It all depends on the kind of participants you have, the subject matter, duration of the training programme and few other factors. Dinesh V Divekar

Thanks Rajeev. Another useful rule of thumb for Powerpoint presentations is the 7 by 7 rule:
No more that seven points per slide.
No more than seven words per point.

Hi,
Thanks Rajeev for sharing the 10/20/30 rule...Also, thanks Vicki for explainig the 7 by 7 rule.
I would say these are tips and not a generalised rule...as it changes form situation to sitation. However these tips can help a lot while designing the presentaion.

These are only tips which may be considered according to the need and context. The word 'thumbrule' should not be viewed as being prescriptive. Thanks for the responses. Rajeev.V

may be thumb rules are context based. but practically it depends on your coverage, topic, strenngth of audience, size of the hall, purpose ( whether pure academic/ marketting / technology awareness etc. ). i don't think it can be genaralised. again these are only some observations. thanks for your ideas also.
