What it is
Bullet Chart packs four data points — actual, target, qualitative ranges, and an optional comparative measure — into a compact horizontal bar. Designed to replace fluffy speedometers with dense, scannable performance bars.
What it does
Filled actual bar over banded ranges (poor / satisfactory / good), with a perpendicular tick for target and an optional comparative marker.
Why use it
More information per pixel than any gauge. Once teams adopt it, they don’t go back.
Three ways teams use it
Exec
Quarterly KPI scorecard — one bullet per KPI with target and good/poor bands.
Sales
Quota attainment vs. last year vs. plan.
Ops
SLA performance — actual against target band.
