# Inverted Funnel chart

Inverted Funnel charts are a great way to track progress through a workflow with multiple steps. They can highlight how well a process is being followed and easily identify any bottlenecks.​

The users can invert the funnel chart to see things from a different point of view. It widens at the bottom and narrows at the top pinpointing the various phases in a classified structure. This chart can be used to see the hierarchical structure of an organization or distribution process of fund/salary/profit etc. ​
