Use case example: Revenue per employee against target
The bullet chart in above example measures actual revenue generated by seven employees / sales reps against target. All employees / sales reps have same target, indicated by a black marker line. Actual dollar value of target achievement for each sales rep is indicated by an orange bar.

With a glance at the chart, audience can make out (a) which employees / sales reps have overachieved targets (b) which employees / sales reps haven’t met targets and (c) where do they fall in terms of qualitative performance.
