The quarterly review loads a 14-tab spreadsheet to answer one question — "where do we actually spend our engineering time?" — because the wiki charts are stale screenshots from last quarter and the numbers table nobody reads. A dashboard is not a spreadsheet: it is the two charts that answer the two questions people keep asking.

**Quick answer:** build dashboard charts in Confluence with Mermaid `pie` and `xychart-beta` charts, rendered by [Mermaid Plus for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1236814/mermaid-plus-diagrams-for-confluence/). Pie for shares, XY for trends — both as editable text that refreshes like code. This post gives you three copy-paste examples: an effort-share pie, a weekly trend XY, and a dual-series release dashboard.
