# Funnel chart

A funnel chart is a specialized chart type that demonstrates the various stages in a process. The chart takes its name from its shape, which starts with a broad head and ends with a narrow neck. Funnel charts help to track progress through a workflow with multiple steps. The user can highlight how well a process is being followed and easily identify any bottlenecks.
