6-Step Zig Zag Process Flow Diagram for PowerPoint & Google Slides

This dynamic 6-step zig zag process flow diagram visually illustrates sequential or cyclical workflows in a lively, alternating path. Featuring bold, 3D-styled circular markers connected by colored ribbons, the design alternates between upward and downward angles to highlight each phase distinctly while maintaining directional clarity. Each step is color-coded—Yellow, Blue, Orange, Purple, Dark Blue, and Red—and paired with editable placeholders for titles and descriptions, helping presenters highlight key actions, milestones, or stages with ease.

The smooth diagonal layout not only draws the viewer’s eye across the process flow but also breaks the monotony of traditional horizontal or vertical timelines. The spherical markers add depth, while the alternating placement of text boxes enhances readability and engagement. This template is especially effective in presentations where you want to visualize multi-stage processes with visual rhythm and emphasis on progress.

Fully editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, users can swap colors, update text, or duplicate shapes to fit workflows of different lengths. Ideal for process flows, roadmaps, strategic plans, or training programs, this slide delivers a polished and engaging visual without overwhelming your audience.
