In our experience, we have found most DMAIC project sponsors' attention has wavered somewhat when the 6 Sigma practitioner has got to the 45th slide in an 82 slide PowerPoint (or similar) presentation! Sadly, we joke not .....

We have found that a storyboard, similar to the one below, is very helpful for presenting DMAIC project progress to Champions and other interested parties. 

It tells a logical story of progress, links the key components of the project, shows remaining work to be done (any remaining blank areas on the storyboard) and helps the 6 sigma practitioner to appear clear and concise in their presentation. 

This really helps achieve sponsor buy-in.
