Process Flow Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

A four-step process flow with built-in progress tracking. That’s basically what this slide does.

Each step sits on a colored arrow that flows left to right – yellow, red-orange, pink, then dark purple. Above each arrow there’s a pin-shaped marker with a percentage circle inside it, so you can show how far along each stage is. Below each step you get a title and a short description placeholder.

It’s a simple layout, but it solves a problem that comes up a lot: how do you show a process and the progress of each step at the same time, on one slide? Most process flow templates just show the steps. This one lets you show that step one is 65% done, step two is at 45%, and so on – all at a glance.

You get two versions. One on a white background, one on dark. Both have the same layout and color scheme – the warm-to-cool color gradient from yellow through to purple works on either surface. Available in 16:9 and 4:3, editable in PowerPoint and Google Slides.

It’s free. Two slides.

Where to Use It

The percentage markers make this one more specific than a generic process flow diagram. It’s built for situations where you need to show how far along things are, not just what the steps are.

Project status updates – This is probably where it gets the most use. You’re in a weekly standup or a stakeholder meeting and you need one slide that says “here’s where we are.” Four workstreams, four progress percentages. Done. People can see what’s ahead and what’s lagging without you having to explain every detail.

Sales pipeline reviews – Map your pipeline stages across the four steps. Prospecting at 65%, qualification at 45%, proposal at 55%, closing at 75%. Your sales team immediately sees where deals are getting stuck and where they’re moving.

Product or campaign launches – Break your launch into phases – research, development, testing, release – and show the completion percentage for each. Works well in marketing decks when you’re reporting on campaign rollout progress to leadership.

Onboarding flows – Whether it’s employee onboarding or customer onboarding, you can lay out the four main stages and show how far a cohort has gotten through each one. HR teams and customer success teams both use this kind of visual regularly.

Manufacturing or operations – Any production workflow with measurable stages. Procurement at one percentage, assembly at another, quality check at another, shipping at another. One slide tells the whole story for a floor update or ops review.

Academic and training settings – Course progress, curriculum completion, research phases. Teachers can show students where they are in a semester, or a trainer can map out the four modules of a certification program with completion rates.

Other Uses

Works as a sales funnel tracker, a customer journey progress slide, an event planning timeline, or a quarterly goals tracker. You could also strip out the percentages and just use it as a straight four-step process diagram – the arrow layout and color coding still hold up on their own as a workflow visualization. The color gradient from warm to cool naturally suggests progression, which makes it read well even without the numbers.
