Project Organization Chart

A visual chart for a specific project that shows the project team members and how they relate to each other, including reporting and collaboration links.

Key Points

  • Depicts the team structure and reporting lines for one project.
  • Can include solid and dotted lines to reflect matrix or support relationships.
  • Clarifies authority, escalation paths, and primary communication channels.
  • Should be updated as roles, resources, or governance change.

Example

On a software rollout, the PM creates an org chart showing the Project Manager at the top, with Workstream Leads for Configuration, Integration, Testing, and Change Management beneath. Vendor specialists and business SMEs appear under each lead, with dotted lines to their functional managers to show the matrix reporting.

PMP Example Question

During project kickoff, stakeholders ask for a single page that shows who is on the team and who reports to whom. Which document should the project manager provide?

  1. Responsibility assignment matrix (RACI)
  2. Project organization chart
  3. Resource histogram
  4. Stakeholder register

Correct Answer: B — Project organization chart

Explanation: The project organization chart graphically shows team members and their interrelationships. A RACI maps responsibilities by deliverable, a resource histogram shows resource usage over time, and a stakeholder register lists stakeholders and details but not the team structure.
