Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ending the weekly slide hostage situation
QWhy does Thursday become slide day every week?
Most organizations have Friday status meetings, which means Thursday becomes the deadline for presentation preparation. This creates a predictable weekly pattern where project managers lose an entire day to slide work instead of actual project management.
QHow does SlideStrike eliminate Thursday slide panic?
With SlideStrike, status presentations are generated in 60 seconds from project data. Thursday becomes a regular work day again. Teams upload their data Thursday afternoon and have presentation-ready slides immediately, with zero manual formatting or consolidation.
QWhat about the quality of AI-generated status slides?
SlideStrike's AI is trained on executive communication best practices and industry-specific KPIs. The generated slides include status indicators, key insights, and recommended actions - often more comprehensive than manually created slides because the AI never forgets a section or glosses over important metrics.
QHow much time does this actually save per week?
A typical PM spends 4-6 hours per week on status presentations. Directors spend 5+ hours consolidating. SlideStrike reduces this to minutes. Across a team of 10 PMs and 2 Directors, that's 50+ hours per week redirected to actual project work.
