Colorful Five-Stage Methodology Diagram Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This methodology slide presents a five-stage process as overlapping, gradient-filled circular panels for PowerPoint & Google Slides. Each bold circle is accented by a partial outline arc and carries an icon placeholder above a heading and descriptive text area, allowing you to visually distinguish ideation, analysis, execution, review, and optimization phases. The warm-to-cool palette—ranging from coral through sunflower yellow and cyan to lime green and lavender—ensures each step stands out while maintaining visual harmony against a clean white canvas. Built on master slides with fully editable vector shapes, you can swap icons, adjust colors, and update text without disrupting the layout. Optional fade-in animations are preconfigured to reveal each stage in sequence, guiding audiences through your methodology with clarity and engagement.

Who is it for

Project managers, business consultants, and process engineers will value this diagram for illustrating structured workflows, best-practice frameworks, and multi-phase strategies. Product development teams and design agencies can map research sprints, prototyping cycles, or launch milestones. Educators and trainers can leverage its clear visual flow for classroom modules or corporate workshops.

Other Uses

Beyond core methodologies, repurpose this slide to chart customer journey stages, risk-management cycles, or quarterly planning segments. Replace the icons to showcase marketing funnels, sales pipelines, or onboarding steps. Duplicate and recolor the circles to expand the model for six or more phases, or use the layout for stakeholder approval gates and cross-functional dependencies.
