Traditional Product Development Process featured image

Leverage this engaging slide to map out the traditional product development process using a visually intuitive gear diagram. Five interlocking gears—lightbulb (ideation), magnifying glass (research), hammer-and-wrench (design & development), bar chart (testing & analysis), and rocket (launch)—guide viewers through each phase. A subtle gray-to-white gradient background and drop shadows create depth, while flat iconography and bold accent colors ensure clarity. This layout promotes a clear, step-by-step narrative that highlights key milestones and dependencies.

Pre-built in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template features fully editable master slides, customizable color schemes, and vector-based gear icons. Text placeholders, icon sets, and chart layouts can be tailored in seconds to match any corporate branding or project style. Slide notes include guidance on best practices for each phase, while easy-to-use format presets simplify alignment and spacing. Whether illustrating internal planning, cross-functional collaboration, or stakeholder reviews, this asset adapts seamlessly to your workflow.

Designed for marketing teams, product managers, and development leads, this gear-diagram slide streamlines communication of complex processes and dependencies. Use it to align cross-functional teams, track progress against objectives, or highlight critical handoffs. The intuitive visual metaphor reduces cognitive load, enabling stakeholders to grasp project flow at a glance. Quickly update icons, labels, and color accents to reflect new phases or criteria, ensuring long-term reusability.
