9-Stage Staircase Tool Diagram

About this template

This slide shows nine stages as a rising staircase, with each step marked by a numbered circle on a rounded bar and a caption field beneath the baseline. Bar colors shift from orange to purple, blue-grey and olive, then return to orange at the ninth step, which a lightbulb icon highlights as the goal. Use it for step-by-step processes, project phases, growth or maturity stages, and plans that build toward one result. The title, the paragraph block on the left and all nine captions can be edited, and the colors and shapes can be changed.
