7-Year Stair Timeline

About this template

This slide lays out seven years as an ascending staircase, with a NOW marker and shaded band showing where the timeline currently stands. Each step has a 20YY year box, a coloured elbow arrow to the next step, and a dotted line down to a shared time axis with a text line below. A title and a paragraph area sit at the top left. Use it for multi-year roadmaps, strategic plans, milestone reviews or company history. The year labels, step text, paragraph and title can all be edited, and the shapes and colours can be changed to fit your deck.
