Linear Roadmap Template

Description

Map your strategic path with this gradient five-step roadmap diagram slide, featuring a smooth color transition from blue to yellow along a horizontal axis. Five circular milestone markers—numbered 1 through 5—sit atop the gradient band, each linked via dotted lines to text callouts above or below. Generous headline and body placeholders let you clearly label each phase or objective, while subtle drop shadows and beveled edges add depth without cluttering the clean white canvas.

Fully editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template leverages master slides, lockable layers, and alignment guides to simplify customization. Swap gradient stops to match your brand palette, adjust milestone positions, edit callout text, or reorder steps in seconds. Use built-in animation presets to reveal each milestone sequentially, guiding your audience through your roadmap with visual emphasis and narrative flow.

Optimized for high-resolution displays and virtual presentations, this slide maintains pixel-perfect clarity across devices, eliminating version-control headaches. Whether you’re outlining project phases, product launches, marketing campaigns, or training modules, this dynamic roadmap diagram brings clarity, engagement, and professional polish to your presentations.

Who is it for

Project managers, consultants, and team leads will find this five-step roadmap diagram invaluable for visualizing project milestones, campaign phases, or launch plans. Executives, trainers, and startup founders can leverage its clear sequence and dynamic aesthetic for board presentations and investor pitches.
