Yeah, I think I remember those! If it were me, I would turn the segmented bar into a checklist, since you can add a description and I think it looks nicer. But the approach was a good one imo.
Sure, that top bar is a "steps completed" bar, so something other than a normal progress bar may be better. A checklist would work, unless space confined. Depends on the number of items. Maybe a segmented bar where it fills one segment for each item. If there are a lot of items, though, just an "X/Y steps completed" may work best: its simple and easy to understand.
