Project life cycle template

Description

Leverage this versatile project life cycle diagram template to illustrate your project’s phases with three distinct, fully editable layouts. The first design uses a four-quadrant diamond, with circular phase markers—Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring/Closure—radiating from a central hub and paired with concise callouts. The second layout features a five-segment radial chart, each segment hosting an icon placeholder and adjacent text block for Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring, and Closing. The third variation presents a continuous arrow loop around a central “Project Life Cycle” circle, showing Initiation → Planning → Production → Closing with outer dashed rings labeled “Control” and “Monitoring.”

All graphics are vector-based, grouped, and labeled for effortless drag-and-drop editing. Swap icons, update colors via the theme palette, or adjust segment angles and arrow shapes in seconds. Master slides ensure consistent typography and color application across every layout, while preconfigured animations let you reveal each phase sequentially to guide audience focus. Designed for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template maintains crisp resolution on any display and simplifies branding updates with an organized theme color swatch.

Who is it for

Project managers, PMO teams, and consultants will benefit from this diagram to map out project roadmaps, phase-gate processes, or lifecycle overviews during kickoffs and stakeholder reviews.

Other Uses

Beyond traditional project planning, repurpose these layouts for product development cycles, change-management frameworks, process audits, or training roadmaps—simply relabel the phases and swap out icons to suit any workflow.
