Join the Conversation

Share your insights and feedback with a few members thinking through specific challenges: 

  • A member asked whether anyone has used a 2×2 matrix visual to represent a performance metric. This would be built in Java for a web app, not in a reporting or BI tool.

    They are looking for examples of how teams have visualized performance metrics beyond the usual bar, line, pie, gauge, or heat map charts, especially approaches that have worked well with leadership audiences.
