Definition
Organizational Charts are created often by Corporate Managers. They are a set of slides that represent the company’s management structure and hierarchy. They act as templetization/ starting point in creating diagrams for the entire organization structure, and the different relationships between the positions and ranks.
As far as hierarchy in an Agile organization is concerned, it is overall less emphasized and communication overheads are minimised by the creation of semi-autonomous, cross-functional and self-organising teams. A single mid-level manager is usually capable to support 10-20 cross-functional teams.
