Best Practices
Limit Group By Categories
- 3-5 categories is ideal for easy reading
- Maximum 7-8 before charts become confusing
Choose Complementary Dimensions
- Status x Type - Different aspects of same issues
- Time x Category - Trend analysis with breakdown
- Person x Status - Individual progress tracking
