Product Death Cycle Diagram Slide for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Present the classic product failure loop with this minimalist “Product Death Cycle” diagram. Featuring a closed-loop of three circular nodes—”No One Uses Our Product”, “Ask Customers What Features Are Missing”, and “Build The Missing Features”—this slide vividly illustrates a common pitfall in product development. The directional arrows emphasize the unproductive cycle, making it ideal for sparking critical discussion or proposing alternative strategies.

Each phase is color-coded (orange, green, and blue) to distinguish the stages, with subtle dashed outlines for visual interest. The simple, clutter-free layout draws immediate focus to the core message and supports fast comprehension by stakeholders, product managers, or UX teams.

Compatible with PowerPoint and Google Slides, this slide is fully editable: change colors, tweak the text, or expand the diagram for deeper analysis. Perfect for product reviews, strategic workshops, startup retrospectives, or user research presentations.

Who is it for

Designed for product managers, UX designers, agile coaches, and startup founders looking to analyze ineffective product cycles or educate teams on iterative development risks.

Other Uses

Repurpose the cycle to depict recurring issues in customer service, marketing automation loops, or organizational inefficiencies. Swap text labels to represent negative behavioral or operational feedback loops.
