When to use it
Use for three to six phases that repeat in a loop, such as plan-do-check-act, a software or product lifecycle, a customer or sales cycle, or a data lifecycle. Not for one-way processes with an end, timelines, comparisons, hierarchies, funnels, or more than six phases. Equal segments encode sequence and recurrence, never duration or quantitative shares.
