Org structure defines the team hierarchy of the organisation. All HR systems have a hierarchical breakdown of the reporting line structure. TeamForm enables a matrix model of the org structure often known as cross functional teams. This means we allow an enterprise to be represented in both reporting lines and a team view of where people work.
At the top of the tree is the root group type, which is typically the top node of the org which TeamForm is being deployed, for example GenCorp.
Below root, we typically create two group types of the organisation:
The “people” / supply view
Represents the people reporting lines as typically shown in an HR system or capability groups such as Practice Area or Chapter where the organisation have adopted agile structures
We can also have conventional groupings like “Executive Team, Division, Sub-Division” in the hierarchy as well
TeamForm recommends that the People (Supply) structure replicates the HR system. This allows for easier ongoing data maintenance and consistency and an easier way to assign the correct decision maker during workforce planning.
The “work” / demand view
Represents the cross functional teams oriented around work. This typically has terms like Squads, Agile Teams, Value Streams, Tribes, Platform Areas or Work Portfolios.
