Practical guide

Org Chart Mind Map Quick Start

Create organizational hierarchy charts with reporting structures. Perfect for visualizing team structure and roles.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Start with the top position (CEO, Director, etc.). Click the root node to enter the role title and person's name.
  2. 2Press Tab or click "Add Report" to add a direct report beneath the current position. Build out the reporting chain.
  3. 3Use "Add Peer" to add positions at the same level (e.g., multiple VPs reporting to CEO). Drag nodes to reorder siblings.
  4. 4Click any position to add details: job title, department, email, phone, tenure, or a profile photo URL.
  5. 5Use the layout controls to switch between top-down, left-right, or radial org chart layouts. Adjust spacing for clarity.
  6. 6Export to PNG, PDF, or Excel roster. Toggle "Show Photos" to display profile images, or "Compact Mode" for large organizations.

Useful tips

  • Color-code by department: blue for engineering, green for sales, purple for product, orange for operations.
  • Right-click any position to mark as "open role" (shows with dashed border) or "acting/interim" role.
  • Use the "Span of Control" analysis (right panel) to highlight managers with too many or too few direct reports.
  • Add dotted-line reporting for matrix structures: someone who reports to two managers (solid + dotted lines).
