Four-Stage Business Planning Table Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

This four-stage business planning table template offers a streamlined, vertical layout to present sequential agenda items, time slots, or milestone checkpoints with clarity and visual appeal. Each stage features a numbered header (01–04), a bold line icon—shopping cart, gears, shield, and alarm clock—and a shaded panel extending downward to display detailed text. Time markers (10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 01:00 PM) at the bottom of each panel connect via dotted lines to circular pointers, reinforcing the chronological flow. The alternating pink, purple, and orange panels stand out against a subtle world-map background, while glossy highlights and soft drop shadows lend modern depth. Built on master slides with smart placeholders, this template enables rapid customization: swap icons, adjust times, modify panel colors, or update copy in seconds. Animation presets let you reveal each stage one at a time, maintaining audience focus and pacing.

Who is it for

Consultants, project managers, business analysts, and workshop facilitators can leverage this table to guide stakeholders through planning sessions, agenda briefings, or structured workshops. Marketing teams and event organizers will also appreciate the clear time-based layout for outlining campaign tasks, session schedules, or project checkpoints.

Other Uses

Beyond business planning, repurpose this layout for training agendas, interview schedules, product launch timelines, or risk assessment steps. Change icons to match your content theme, extend the design to accommodate additional stages, or swap the dotted pointers for solid lines to suit your branding. The flexible structure adapts seamlessly to both strategic roadmaps and detailed session breakdowns.
