What it is

Bump Chart connects each category’s rank at every time step with a colored line. The eye follows the line: overtakes, slides, and surprises all read instantly. The animated cousin of a bar race, but every period on screen at once.

What it does

Plots category rank over time as smooth lines, with consistent per-category color, tooltips, and optional value labels at endpoints.

Why use it

Lines that cross are inherently storyable. Better than a stacked area when the categorical order matters.

Three ways teams use it.

Marketing

Channel rank by attributed revenue across 12 months.

Sports

Conference standings week by week.

Product

Top 8 features by daily users over a quarter.
