1 Identification/Definition of the Method

/Brändle, 1975/ pp. 2545-2550 (volume 7)
The following delimitation of the definition according to /Brändle, 1975/ is required for the V-Model application: the representation of the communication structure and the group structure with the help of an organizational chart is not specified for the application in the V-Model.

2 Brief Characteristic of the Method

Objective and Purpose

The "Organizational Chart" (OGC), also referred to as "Organizational Diagram" or "Organization Structure Plan", represents the macro and micro organizational structures in a graphical form (macro: company or large project, micro: team or small project). The representation comprises organizational units (jobs or positions) and their corresponding task, competence, and responsibility structures.

The organizational chart reflects the selected organization model; it is the task of the project management to select the suitable organization model for the individual projects.

Means of Representation

The various representation forms are, e. g.:

vertical organizational (tree) chart ("tree diagram")
horizontal organizational (tree) chart
vertical organizational block diagram
horizontal organizational block diagram
organizational matrix chart
organizational ring chart

The vertical organizational chart (tree diagram) is the representation form used most often; organizational units are represented by rectangles, relationships are represented by connecting lines. Because of lacking space, the subtrees are often represented in a column form (list with indentations).
