storyboard

The same span cut into a few panels, one per phase, each drawn as a small scene rather than a label. A phase earns a panel only when the world inside it looks different from the panel before. Two things come free: a reader can see the change instead of taking it on trust, and naming a phase forces you to say when it started and when it ended.

Example

Best when a process has three to six phases and you want people to agree on which one they are standing in.
