How to make an org chart in MindMeister
Start with the top role. Add your CEO, founder, or team lead as the central idea.
Branch out by reporting line. Add each direct report as a branch, then their reports as sub-branches, until everyone's on the map.
Add the detail that matters. Names, job titles, teams, even a photo or a link to a profile on each node.
Reshape by dragging. Someone changed teams? Drag their branch to a new manager and the chart follows.
Share it with the team. Invite people to view or edit, or export the finished chart to share anywhere.

Types of organization charts
Most org charts are one of three shapes. Pick the one that matches how your team structure actually works.
Hierarchical. The classic top-down tree. One person at the top, clear reporting lines branching down through managers to their teams. Best for most small businesses that want a clear chain of command.
Flat. Few or no middle-management layers. Everyone sits close to the top. Common in early-stage startups where the team is small and everyone wears several hats.
Matrix. People report into more than one line, for example a function and a project at once. Useful when work crosses teams, but harder to keep readable.
You don't have to commit up front. Start with the shape you have today, then drag branches to change it as your team structure shifts.
