Exposition. At the beginning of the story where important characters, settings, and backgrounds are revealed.
Rising Action. A series of events that will build towards a final point.
Climax. The turning point of the story. This is where things often change dramatically.
Falling Action. This is where things between protagonist and antagonist unravel. In business, the protagonist can be an idea, task, or situation.
Conclusion. This is where all the events of the falling action are resolved. The tensions are released, and everyone is happy and ready to solve their next problem.
