Small business organization chart.

A small business organization chart makes reporting lines visible without adding unnecessary detail. This example groups the core functions under the owner and gives the delivery team a clear operational home. It works well for a team that needs to discuss responsibility, hiring plans or a handover between functions. Add names when the chart is used for a current team, or leave role titles when planning a future structure. Keep temporary project groups separate from the reporting hierarchy so the chart remains easy to read.
