In my last two posts I discussed how org charts and team charts can help in management duties. Now that you are convinced you need to create org charts and team charts, you are probably trying to decide what software to use in order to create your charts. When selecting software to create these charts, some important critera to consider include:
- Automatic formatting - the software should add any boxes and connecting lines easily and properly formatted
- Flexibility to easily add and change positions within the org chart
- Ability to link positions within the org chart to business process flowcharts or other visuals that outline the responsibilities of each position
- Ability to export your org chart or team chart to common file formats for easy sharing
- Ease of use and quality of support for the product
With SmartDraw, you can easily create formatted org charts and team charts that adhere to the rules of visual grammar and that smoothly integrate with other visuals that are a part of your projects. Here is a short video showing how to create org charts with SmartDraw:
