Bullet Graphs are easy to interpret and convey much more information than traditional tools using substantially less screen real estate. Bullet Graphs are the perfect element to add to Business Intelligence Dashboards to call attention to the status of Key Performance Indicators (KPI).

Bullet Graphs were developed by information visualization expert Stephen Few. He designed them to replace speedometers and gauges in executive BI Dashboards.

Bullet Graphs display information about a single quantitative measure like year-to-date revenue along with complementary measures to enrich the meaning of the featured parameter. The linear design of the Bullet Graph gives it a very small footprint and makes them much easier to understand quickly than radial meters.
