Research Roadmap PowerPoint slide

Description

Map your research journey comprehensively with this multi-tiered roadmap slide, featuring a sequence of six core phases—Data Gathering, Requirements Representation, Verification Methods, Case Studies, Applicability Evaluation, and Encapsulated Patterns—displayed as bold arrows in red, blue, orange, purple, green, and dark blue. Above the main timeline, muted arrows denote overarching project stages (Design Phase, Implementation Phase, Live Systems, Trade-off Evaluation, and Domain-Specific Insight), while lightly tinted arrow segments below illustrate supporting elements such as Design Guidelines, Modeling Support, Tool Support, Law Expertise, and Investigator Expertise. Crisp directional connectors and alignment guides maintain clarity across levels, ensuring your audience instantly perceives dependencies and progression.

Built on master slide layouts in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template offers fully editable vector shapes and text placeholders for each arrow segment. Easily adjust arrow lengths to reflect phase durations, update colors to match brand palettes, or insert custom icons to enhance visual storytelling. High-resolution graphics guarantee seamless rendering on widescreens and printed handouts alike, and intuitive slide structure allows you to replicate or extend the roadmap for additional phases without losing design consistency. The template also includes a customizable legend to define each arrow’s function, helping viewers interpret the roadmap at a glance. Maintain version control through master themes and collaborate seamlessly in cloud-based environments.

Use built-in guide markers to align shapes and connectors precisely, and leverage the consistency of vector-based assets for rapid updates. This slide empowers presenters to communicate complex research workflows, illustrate methodological pipelines, and highlight critical insights at each project milestone. With its layered approach, you can engage stakeholders by showing how support functions underpin every stage of your research process.

Who is it for

Academic researchers, product development leads, and project managers will benefit from this roadmap slide when planning studies, coordinating research activities, or reporting progress to stakeholders. R&D teams and grant writers can also use it to outline proposal timelines and methodological frameworks.

Other Uses
