It's visually captivating.  Who's your audience?

It definitely is. I'd say a presentation like that could be used with
any audience. One
would say different things, of course.

One negative: the image for Technical Excellence is a bit boring. I have no
better ideas however.

Hi, Karl.

1. From comprehension and general feeling point of view:
I like the idea. It gives me feeling, how complex skills we need.

Personally I'm overwhelmed by text slides. I have to develop effort to
find, what is actually important.
Basic idea is actually good! What I would do is developing each text
based slide. Not showing everything on the first one, but showing one
branch at a time.

It would be helpful to have style consistency between pictures slide
and text based slides. One idea is to base it on color. I like e.g.
Self improvement - you have a picture with a lot of white and your
next slide has light background.


2. The other side was already brought up by Andre: who is the target
audience and what message do you want to deliver to them.

Looks really, really good. Short and sweet, very concise and
beautifully.

[Karl Metivier]

Thank you all for your comments. It is very appreciated.

About the target audience, I wasn't thinking about one in particular.
I wanted to show that Agile is not only Scrum and XP. There is also a
bunch of skills to learn and the project has made a fine collection or
pillars to categorize them. The goal is to show what are these
pillars, what they represent and get a glimpse of the skills attached
to them.

So there is some audience. People, who:
- know Scrum and XP
- don't know, what is under the hood or don't know what is needed for
successful execution
