Humans are really really bad at judging the size of a sector! Unless they're stacked together - in which case, grouped bar charts are your best/only friend. I don't much care what data you were presenting or why it was being presented, I just point out that there is always an option which is better than a pie chart in every way. | |

But what I showed was something like this: What is the portion of resources assigned to each product area vs what is the portion of bugs that are reported to each product area; using two pie charts - side by side. Now this was a question nobody had thought about (which was surprising), and it immediately showed that we are not assigning enough resources to certain areas. It was praised not because pie charts, but because I looked at my workplace in a different way, which was useful. | |

| Oct 28, 2016 at 11:13 | comment | added | sampathsris | @Nij: Did you really just downvoted because the post contained the word 'pie chart'? :D | |
| Oct 28, 2016 at 11:12 | comment | added | user53718 | -1. Pie charts are a monstrosity only suitable for demonstrating why pie charts are unsuitable for any actual data presentation. | |
