Abstract
Sankey diagrams are a graphical way of visualizing the flow of resources in a team, project, process, company, etc. Resources mapped in a Sankey diagram can be anything from materials, monetary funds, people allocation, activities, etc.
Beginning in 1898, the Sankey diagram was first used by an Irish captain named Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey. This first implementation of the diagram showed the energy efficiency of a steam engine.[1]
