Fit text in a circular shape

Question

I'm trying to fit a text within the arrows but in a circular shape, however, the text doesn't bend nicely.

 \documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
 \usetikzlibrary{arrows}
 \begin{document}
 \begin{tikzpicture}[paths/.style={->, thick, >=stealth'}]
\node (species_1) at (-3,0.5) {};
\node (species_2) at (0,0) 
     {};
\node (species_3) at (2,-2) 
     {};
\node (species_4) at (0,-4) 
     {};
\node (species_5) at (-2,-2) 
     {};
\node (species_6) at (-3,-4) 
     {};
\draw[-triangle 90 cap, very thick,double, double distance=9pt] (species_2) to [bend left=40] node[black, sloped,bend left=40]{Develop}  (species_3);
\draw[-triangle 90 cap, very thick,double, double distance=9pt]  (species_3) to [bend left=40] node[black, sloped] {Design} (species_4);
\draw[-triangle 90 cap, very thick,double, double distance=9pt]  (species_4) to [bend left=40] node[black, sloped] {Plan} (species_5);
\draw[-triangle 90 cap, very thick,double, double distance=9pt]  (species_5) to [bend left=40] node[black, sloped] {Deploy} (species_2);
\draw[-triangle 90 cap, very thick,double, double distance=9pt]  (species_6) to node[black, sloped] {Plan}(species_4);
\end{tikzpicture}
 \end{document}

Update,

I managed to use the code in the link provided, now how can I use the same code to have the same drawing aligned vertically?

Code:

\documentclass[border=5pt]{standalone}

\definecolor{ocre}{HTML}{800000}
\definecolor{sky}{HTML}{C6D9F1}
\definecolor{skybox}{HTML}{5F86B3}

The only problems i see are that Test and Develop are not symmetrical, which can be fixed by adding or removing spaces. — John Kormylo, Oct 16 '21 at 17:09

I saw this when the bot updated something in this post, so since I was here I have to leave a reduced code with some of the things that are interpreted as requested. I added some things I learned along the way.

RESULT:

MWE:

\documentclass[border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfmath}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.text, arrows.meta,calc,shadows.blur,shadings}
% arctext from Andrew code with modifications:
%Variables: 1: ID, 2:Style 3:box height 4: Radious 5:start-angl 6:end-angl 7:text {format along path} 
\def\arctext[#1][#2][#3](#4)(#5)(#6)#7{
    \draw[#2] (#5:#4cm+#3) coordinate (above #1) arc (#5:#6:#4cm+#3) 
    -- (#6-5:#4) coordinate (right #1) -- (#6:#4cm-#3) coordinate (below right #1) arc (#6:#5:#4cm-#3) coordinate (below #1)
    -- (#5-5:#4) coordinate (left #1) -- cycle;
    \path[
    decoration={
        raise = -0.5ex, % Controls relavite text height position.
        text  along path,
        text = {#7},
        text align = center,        
    },
    decorate
    ]
    (#5-5:#4) arc (#5-5:#6:#4);
}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[
        % Styles
        ShdShape/.style ={
            color=#1!50!black,
            thick,
            upper left=#1,
            upper right=black!50!#1,
            lower left=white,
            lower right=blue!50!#1,
            blur shadow, %Tikzedt not suport online view
        }
        ]

        % you can anidate this in a new drawing definition
        \def\Sprint#1[#3]#4#5#6#7#8{
            \begin{scope}[shift={(#1)},rotate=#2] 
                \nodeShdShape=gray,draw,align=center,circle at (0,0) {Team #3 \ Blog};

                \arctext[SRel][ShdShape=lime]8pt(107)(77){|\footnotesize\color{black}|#6};
                \arctext[SRel][ShdShape=green]8pt(152)(109){|\footnotesize\color{black}|#5};
                \arctext[SRel][ShdShape=SeaGreen]8pt(200)(154){|\footnotesize\color{black}|#4};
                \draw-stealth, ultra thickto node[below, midway,rotate=#2]{Sprint #3}++(4,0);
            \end{scope}
        }
    %Then draw many of these in other positions...  
    \Sprint[0,0](0)[1]{Design}{Develop}{Test}{Deploy}{Review}
    \Sprint[0,4](0)[2]{Task 1}{Task 2}{Task 3}{Task 4}{Task 5}
    \Sprint[5,4](-45)[3]{Task 6}{Task 7}{Task 8}{Task 9}{too much...}

    %Or you can shift or rotate a part of new drawings using scope.
    \begin{scope}[shift={(5,0)},rotate=15] 
    \node[ShdShape=white,draw,align=center,circle,text=black](CENTER) at (0,0) {Team X \\ Blog};
    \arctext[SSN][ShdShape=blue!50!green][8pt](1)(180)(0){|\footnotesize\color{black}|personalized};
    \arctext[SCap][ShdShape=cyan][8pt](1)(180)(360){|\footnotesize\color{black}|option};
    \end{scope}

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Hope you expect this (Thanks to Herbert Voss and Timothy Van Zandt for releasing PSTricks tutorial):

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{PSTricks}
\usepackage{pst-text}
\begin{document}
\LARGE
\psset{linestyle=none}%
\pstextpath[c]{\psarcn(0,0){1.8}{180}{0}}{Centre National de la}
\pstextpath[c]{\psarc(0,0){1.8}{180}{0}}{Recherche Scientifique}
\end{document}

Output

Note that use LaTeX->dvips->PS2PDF to get better output...

I actually managed to get them in circular shape as in the second code, but I need the same drawing to be repeated three time vertically – Diana Oct 16 '21 at 15:23
