Make one from your notes
Quarterly business review
Northwind Q3 2026 review
Leadership team, October 2026

9 slides. Example, names are fictional.

Tips

  1. 01Open with the verdict. Say if the quarter beat or missed plan before any detail.
  2. 02Show at least one miss and its cause. A review with only wins isn't trusted.
  3. 03Keep the scorecard to five or six metrics, each with a target.
  4. 04End with the decisions you need, not a thank-you slide.

Questions

What goes in a quarterly business review?
A verdict on the quarter, a scorecard against targets, the main wins and misses with their causes, financials, risks, and the priorities and decisions for next quarter.
How many slides should a QBR have?
Eight to ten is enough for a 30 to 45 minute review. Put supporting detail in speaker notes or an appendix.
