Pyramid diagram

Alternative name:

Hierarchical chart

Like a pyramid chart, this shows hierarchical levels but they're not necessarily proportional in size. It's often used for organisational structures or to show processes.

Tips for use and when NOT to use

Use for hierarchical data that isn't necessarily proportional, such as an organisational structure. Clearly label each level and the individuals or groups within each level. Don't use if your data isn't hierarchical.

Use case / Examples

To illustrate the levels of management within a company or the structure of a project team.

Question example:

What's the structure of your company's sales team, from the sales director down to individual sales representatives?
