A Sankey diagram visualizes how IT resources or budgets are distributed across systems, projects, or processes. The thickness of each connection shows how much is flowing, allowing stakeholders to quickly understand allocation patterns, dependencies, and inefficiencies.
The example below visualizes the flow between project buckets and their spend limits. The width of each connection represents the magnitude of the allocation. The visualization provides an easy overview of cost distribution across project buckets, highlights key contributors to overall project costs, reveals funding concentrations or gaps at a glance, and enables better understanding of budget allocation decisions without the need to analyze raw data tables.
