Design and Structure
The diagram uses interlocking chain links to represent sequential relationships between stages in a process. Each link connects visually to the next, reinforcing the concept of continuity and workflow progression. The horizontal layout allows viewers to easily follow the sequence from beginning to end.
Each step contains a numbered marker, an icon placeholder, and editable text areas for titles and descriptions. The alternating placement of text blocks above and below the chain helps maintain visual balance while keeping the slide easy to read.
Distinct colors differentiate each stage while preserving the overall chain structure. This visual approach makes the diagram effective for explaining processes that require coordination between multiple steps or teams.
