EPISODE 116
use a bump chart to reveal who’s rising and falling
Bump charts are great at showing who's rising, who's falling, and who's staying on top—but they don't tell you the whole story.
In this episode, Alli explains what a bump chart is, when to use one, and what to watch out for when comparing rankings instead of actual values. Plus, she highlights three creative examples from the storytelling with data community that use color, added context, and an unexpected layout to make changes in rankings easier to see and understand.
