Five-Stage Process Diagram Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Use this five-stage process diagram to clearly map sequential workflows, project phases, or strategic roadmaps with engaging gradient arrows. The slide features five diamond-shaped nodes on a horizontal timeline, each rendered in a unique color gradient and topped with an editable icon. Connector lines link each node to text placeholders above and below, providing space for detailed descriptions, KPIs, or action items. Fully built on master layouts with vector shapes, you can recolor nodes, swap icons, and update labels in seconds. Apply entrance animations to reveal each stage sequentially and guide your audience step by step through complex processes.

Optimized for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template preserves formatting, high-fidelity vectors, and animation timing across platforms. Duplicate the slide to compare alternative workflows side by side, collapse non-critical steps for executive summaries, or overlay charts and data tables beneath each node to correlate metrics with process stages. The flat design on a clean white background ensures clarity on projectors, desktops, and mobile devices, while modular components support rapid customization and consistency across decks.

Who is it for

Project managers, business analysts, and operations leaders will find this diagram invaluable for outlining phased initiatives, sprint backlogs, or process optimizations. Marketing strategists, training facilitators, and consultants can leverage its clear, step-by-step flow to align stakeholders and drive data-driven discussions.

Other Uses

Repurpose this layout for customer journey maps, risk assessment sequences, product development lifecycles, or compliance checklists. Use the numbered nodes to highlight milestones, decision gates, or performance targets in any corporate or academic presentation.
