Interview Story Flowchart Template

The Summit Method flowchart is a visual STAR framework for answering behavioral interview questions. It breaks your answer into four timed stages:

• Situation (30 sec: role, context, stakes)

• Task (15 sec: the one thing you owned)

• Actions (60–90 sec: the bulk of your answer)

• Results (30 sec: quantified impact plus a learning)

If you're a visual learner, this flowchart maps out exactly how your answer should flow as you move through the STAR framework.
