Pyramid Chart

Also known as Triangle Diagram or Triangle Chart

1. What is a Pyramid chart?

A pyramid chart (also known as Triangle diagram) is used to organize data in a hierarchical way or compare datasets, show proportions, or illustrate a workflow.

When to use Pyramid chart?

A pyramid chart is typically used to represent hierarchical or proportional data, where the categories or data points have a distinct hierarchical relationship. It is particularly useful when there is a need to visually demonstrate the distribution, comparison, or composition of data in a hierarchical structure, with the largest category at the top and progressively smaller categories descending towards the base.

2. How to build a Pyramid chart with example

The pyramid chart effectively presents the distribution of orders based on priority in a hierarchical structure, with the highest priority at the top and descending priorities towards the base, allowing businesses to visually assess the proportional composition of orders at different priority levels and prioritize resources accordingly for efficient order management and fulfillment.
