You can show three dimensions in two with some pretty effective results. http://www.gapminder.org/world/ is a great example of visualising complex data, I've used similar graphs to show a lot of data at once.

Any creative ideas on this? I have an change impact triad: Cost, Schedule, Technical Cost is (<1M,1M-25M, >25M) Schedule is (<1mo,1mo-1yr,>1yr) Technical is (Minor,Moderate,Significant) When a change request (changeID) is proposed it is evaluated on these three scales for the purpose of comparison (prioritization,design trade decisions, etc.). I'm trying to imagine ways to visualize this data to compare changes. Goal would be to see all changes that have the highest impact relative to these three dimensions. As I ponder it, I thought I'd bounce it off you. Maybe you can help me think of creative ways do visualize it in Flex to help management evaluate proposed changes.:) Thanks, Don
