What are some alternative tools to organizational charts for visualizing team structure and responsibilities?

Some alternative tools to organizational charts for visualizing team structure and responsibilities include Gantt charts, mind maps, swimlane diagrams, and responsibility assignment matrices (RACI). Gantt charts are useful for visualizing project timelines and task dependencies. Mind maps can help visualize the hierarchy and relationships between different roles or tasks. Swimlane diagrams can show how different roles interact over the course of a process or project. RACI matrices can clearly define roles and responsibilities for each task in a project.

Question was asked on:

Organizational charts typically show who falls under what umbrella and who is responsible for certain tasks. But this visualization can serve a cross-functional purpose. Let's say you're working on a project that entails input from several different teams and each task includes several sub tasks. This visualization is helpful to list task names and the department (or individual) that is involved in the task.
