Puzzle Flow Diagram for PowerPoint

Description

The Five Stage Puzzle Flow Diagram slide offers a dynamic visual representation of a sequential process using interconnected puzzle pieces arranged in a wave pattern. Each semi-circle puzzle segment seamlessly fits with its neighbor, guiding viewers through five distinct stages of a workflow or roadmap. Distinct hues—ranging from warm orange through vibrant red, teal, blue, and purple—enhance visual differentiation, while subtle gradients and clean line icons ensure clarity and appeal. Intuitive placeholder captions above and below each segment allow for concise titles and supporting details. This design leverages editable master shapes, consistent typography, and vector-based icons to accommodate rapid customization. By adjusting colors, swapping icons, or altering text, presenters can align the diagram to brand guidelines or thematic requirements within seconds. Fully optimized for PowerPoint and Google Slides, this asset uses built-in slide layouts and placeholder functionality to maintain formatting integrity across platforms. The balanced horizontal flow with alternating icon positions encourages natural left-to-right reading and highlights progression.

Five built-in icons illustrate key checkpoints: a magnifying glass for analysis, a lightbulb for ideation, a user avatar for stakeholder alignment, a bar chart for performance tracking, and a hand holding a coin for budget considerations. Placeholders accommodate succinct headlines paired with optional subtext or data points for each stage. Designers can reposition nodes or adjust gradient angles to emphasize a specific phase, while maintaining pixel-perfect integrity at any screen resolution. The slide supports seamless theme transitions and ensures readability on projector screens.
