How is this different from a company org chart?

A project chart is organised by project roles (sponsor, project manager, workstreams) and members may come from different departments; a company chart follows reporting lines. The drawing technique is the same.

Can I note which department each person comes from?

Add a second line inside the label: T2a[Architect from Platform team]. is a line break.

When to use it

Project charters, technical proposals, and the "project organisation" section of a software project report or thesis. The sponsor sits at the top, the project manager coordinates four workstreams, and each workstream lists its roles.

Making it yours

Edit roles and headcount inside the square brackets; delete a workstream together with its role lines.
Insert a steering committee or a QA function as an extra level between sponsor and project manager.
Show part-time members with a dashed connector: T2 -.- T2c[External consultant].
