The functional chart is the map of the functions of the whole company: it lists all business functions and the aggregated tasks of each, without going into the detail of the individual role. It works at company scale, not at the scale of the single individual. Its typical audience is management and organizational consultants. It differs from the job description — which describes a single role in operational detail — and from the organizational chart — which shows the reporting structure in visual form. The functional chart answers the question: what does each function do in the company? Distinctive: map of the functions of the whole company Distinctive: aggregated tasks Distinctive: company scale Essential: all business functions Essential: without going into the detail of the individual role Constant: whole company
