At the end of every presentation, it's time for questions and answers. You won’t get many, but there are always a couple of folks in any group who are willing to take the chance.
In watching others, I am often amazed how little time is left between, “Are there any questions?” and “OK, bye!” The average is about 1-2 seconds. That is far short of the time needed for folks to decide that:
- They have a question
- It won’t look like a stupid question
- It probably wasn’t answered while they were dozing off
- It won’t get them in trouble by asking it, and
- It won’t piss off the rest of the team by keeping them there longer
