Ask HN: What is the optimal iteration?
I have a powerpoint presentation Version 1 targeting industry executives. The goal is to create the most convincing presentation. I have n friends (Manny, Moe, et al.), unassociated with the project, whose advice I respect. Time is not an issue. Each of them have roughly the same role and experience in the industry, although they obviously have nuanced perspectives based on personal experience. Should I:
(A) Send Version 1 to each person independently. Incorporate each of their comments.
(B) Send Version 1 to Manny; incorporate his comments, then send as Version 2 to Moe, etc.?
(C) Have them all on a conference call and making changes collectively?
- DrScump 11y agoUnless you want to keep each friend's contributions private from each other, I would: 1) do (A) 2) incorporate all comments as necessary, crediting each participant with the issue raised (i.e. in a footnote). This both allows all participants to benefit from everyone's participation and acknowledges the contribution of each... and gives the opportunity of a de facto peer review of those contributions 3) do one more pass with the "final rev" candidate
