PowerPoint

Last on the list of tools to remotely demo work are PowerPoint-type presentations. I say type because you don't have to actually use PowerPoint. I've used PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote for product demos. I like using slide-based demos early in the project development process.

There are many times where I've built backend functionality that I wanted to confirm was configured properly. However, I realized that if the client saw an ugly user interface, they wouldn't be able to appreciate the work that was performed. So, I took a play out of the Google Venture's playbook and I created a Keynote slide deck. I designed the deck to mimic the user interface that I planned on eventually adding.

From there, I simply loaded the slides with the behavior I had built into the actual application. This approach worked quite well and the client was happy. More importantly, this option let the client focus on what I had built as opposed to requirements that were still on the to-do list.

This option also works quite well for mobile app demonstrations. Mobile apps are pretty complex for clients to demo on their phones. So, a slide-based approach makes it possible to show an app's design and behavior in a more efficient manner.
