1. A computer-implemented method for visualizing call center operational data, the method comprising:
- receiving analyzed process data, wherein the analyzed process data comprises operational measurements pertaining to one or more call centers, and wherein the measurements have been analyzed to determine variation from a standard;
transforming the analyzed process data to produce a radial graph, wherein the radial graph comprises nodes representing potential sources of variation and the radial graph also comprises one or more edges representing relationships among the potential sources of variation; and
enabling interactive adjustment of the radial graph.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for creating interactive graphical representations (e.g., interactive radial graphs) of operational data in order to enhance root cause analysis and other forms of operational analysis. Graphical nodes represent potential sources of operational variations. Graphical edges linking nodes represent relationships among the potential sources. Graphs may be useful in assessing inefficiencies in call center operations, manufacturing processes, and other processes.
