Even in a short presentation it can be useful to offer your audience a quick look at an agenda. Show them where you are going, possibly discuss each item quickly and then dive into the actual content. At various times throughout you can even check back in and display an updated agenda to display your progress (perhaps with a highlight pointing to where you are at the moment). It shows your listeners where you are headed and gives them hope, if they need it, that you are actually getting somewhere.
The highlight technique used in this slide is a little more professional and inviting then the standard bullet — a great, but subtle, way to get away from those boring PowerPoint defaults.
It is the small touches like these that will set your presentation apart as top-notch.
