Description

Quoting from https://medium.com/@KristinHenry/in-defense-of-pie-charts-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them-df2e8ccb5f76

we’re not really comparing area. It’s the straightness of the line that we are relying on.
...
These examples have very specific angles, and only two categories. What if we have more categories? And different angles? Well, that’s when the pie chart falls down.

So pie charts make sense, when we are comparing two things. All the things we visualise in the Dashboard with pie charts have more than two things.
I think they should be replaced with bar charts, separated or stacked based on the amount of things. Stacked (can be laid out horizontally) would fit the organisations as there are quite a lot of them.
