Frequently Asked Questions

Why your Fridays feel hollow (and how to fix it)

QWhy does it feel like I accomplished nothing even though the meeting went well?

Because "good meetings" often measure presentation quality, not actual project progress. You spent the week building slides instead of shipping features, solving problems, or making decisions. SlideStrike generates presentations in minutes so your weeks can focus on real work.

QHow much time do I actually waste on status decks each week?

Most project managers spend 8-12 hours per week on deck creation: 8 hours building, 3 hours collecting data, 2 hours on revisions, and 4 hours in Thursday panic mode. That's 17+ hours that could go toward actual project work.

QCan SlideStrike really generate my weekly status deck automatically?

Yes. Upload your project data, and SlideStrike generates executive-ready status presentations with KPIs, status indicators, insights, and recommended actions in about 30 seconds. No manual slide building required.

QWhat happens if I stop spending so much time on presentations?

You actually start shipping work. Features get built, problems get solved, blockers get removed. Your Friday becomes about celebrating real accomplishments instead of just "surviving the deck."
