Bullet Chart
Stephen Few's gauge replacement: actual, target, and ranges in one bar.
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.
Filled actual bar over banded ranges (poor / satisfactory / good), with a perpendicular tick for target and an optional comparative marker.
More information per pixel than any gauge. Once teams adopt it, they don’t go back.
Three ways teams use it.
Quarterly KPI scorecard: one bullet per KPI with target and good/poor bands.
Quota attainment vs. last year vs. plan.
SLA performance: actual against target band.
