About the organizational chart template

An organizational chart shows who does what in your company and how different roles connect. When people see the full structure, they can understand which teams work together, how departments are organized, and where their role sits within the company. This template gives you a clean starting point to map out your organization and keep it current as your team grows.

Included in the organizational chart template

This organizational chart template includes built-in capabilities such as:

  • A visual hierarchy structure to organize roles and departments

  • Customizable boxes for names, titles, and team information

  • Color-coding to differentiate between functions or levels

  • Easy-to-adjust connector lines to show reporting relationships

How to use the organizational chart template

Start by adding the leadership team and build out each function underneath. The template uses a standard hierarchy format, but you can adjust it to match however your company actually works. If you have matrix reporting or shared roles across teams, add connector lines to show those relationships.

Use the alignment and grouping tools to keep boxes organized as you add more people. You can also add photos to personalize the chart by uploading images or dragging them onto the whiteboard.

Add the chart to your knowledge base and link to it from onboarding materials or company documentation. Or export it as a PDF or image to include in presentations and other materials.

Best practices

Build a clear and useful reference.

  1. Group by function: Organize people into departments or teams: product, engineering, marketing, operations, or support. Use clear labels so anyone looking at the chart understands how work is divided.

  2. Show reporting relationships: Use lines to indicate who reports to whom. If someone has a dotted-line relationship or works across multiple teams, include those connections so people understand the full reporting structure.

  3. Choose the right level of detail: Decide whether to show every individual or just leadership and key roles. For larger organizations, consider creating department-level charts that link to more detailed team breakdowns.

  4. Assign an owner: Designate someone — typically in HR or operations — to maintain the chart. They should update it when people join, leave, or change roles.
