4 Steps Alternate Direction Arrows PowerPoint Template

This four-step zigzag arrow diagram template features alternating directional arrows arranged in a vertical zigzag layout to illustrate sequential processes, workflows, or timelines with clarity and visual appeal. Each arrow is accompanied by a distinct icon—step one in blue with a building icon, step two in green with a megaphone, step three in yellow with a lab stand, and step four in orange with a trophy—allowing presenters to highlight key milestones or actions at every stage. The clean, flat design with subtle shading enhances readability while maintaining a professional aesthetic. Made with fully editable shapes and icons, this slide leverages master slides and intuitive placeholders so you can easily adjust colors, swap icons, or modify text in seconds. Whether you need to convey project phases, strategic priorities, or sequential tasks, the alternating left and right alignment keeps audiences engaged and helps avoid monotony in presentation flow.
