Functional Chart

You will learn the benefits of using Functional Chart instead of organizational chart. You will also find examples of Functional Chart for each level of the Scalable Practice Chart.

A Functional Chart is a type of chart that illustrates the different functions or departments within an organization, and how they are related to one another. This type of chart is used to help understand the different roles and responsibilities within a company, and how they work together to achieve the organization's goals.

An organizational chart and a functional chart are similar in that they both show the structure of a company or team. However, there are some key differences between the two.

An organizational chart is used to show the hierarchical structure of an organization, while a functional chart is used to show how different functions within the organization are related to each other and how work is done. Both charts are important for understanding the structure of a company or team, but serve different purposes.

When building your team, it's crucial to have a clear plan in place. One effective tool for this is creating a functional chart, which can help with:

  • identifying the main functions of the team
  • assigning ownership and responsibilities
  • establishing roles for team members
  • facilitating clear communication and reporting structures It's important to share this chart openly with the team.
