Even though you are not doing this for some arts contest, you still want it to look professionally, because it’s going to be seen by management. Make sure you properly align the boxes so that the project org chart looks nice. I have done this for example for the steering committee in the picture above. You can also group roles that belong together by drawing a rectangle around those boxes. For example, you can use separate colors for different business functions or different sub teams. To make the org chart easy to grasp, I recommend using different colors. Once you have drawn the boxes, you connect them with connector lines in Microsoft PowerPoint. The graphical elements like rectangles can easily be copied if you need further boxes. To create your organizational chart, simply download my template and map out the roles for your project. This way you always know what function somebody performs in a project, for example developer, migration expert, project security officer or something else (read also about defining roles and responsibilities in a project). Like any good project org chart, the template also lists out the actual people behind the roles. The boxes (showing the roles and people behind a role) are connected with lines which indicate the line of reporting. Below, you have the project manager as the central role including any PM support staff roles.īelow the project manager you find the actual project team - the people doing the work 🙂. The template is structured in the following way: at the top you find the senior management level roles, like the steering board and the project sponsor. You can easily adapt the template for your own project It is just a one page PowerPoint which contains all the elements you need for creating your own project org chart.

The organization chart template I use is very simple, and that’s a good thing (there’s no reason it has to be complicated). Here I am sharing with you my project organization template for Powerpoint. There may be dozens or even hundreds of people involved, each with a specific role.Ī project organization chart clarifies the team structure and responsibilities. Knowing who you (and your team members) need to talk to in a project is essential.
