Crafting a Compelling Product Presentation: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Pain-Agitate-Solution (PAS) Framework: A Proven Structure for Success
A well-crafted product presentation follows the PAS framework, a three-step approach that sets up a compelling narrative around your product strategy. This framework helps you:
- Identify the Pain: Clearly articulate the problem your product solves, making it relatable and tangible for your audience.
- Agitate the Problem: Emphasize the implications of not addressing the issue, highlighting the consequences and risks associated with inaction.
- Introduce the Solution: Present your product as the answer to the problem, focusing on its unique features, benefits, and value proposition.

Example: "We will focus on..." or "Our top priorities are..."
- How Will You Do It?: Present your product roadmap, explaining how you’ll achieve your objectives and deliver results.
Example: "Our product roadmap includes..." or "We'll measure success by..."
