Module features and usage

The module works by extending core’s taxonomy hierarchy
management

You can organize who reports to who with a simple
drag-and-drop, the same as any taxonomy hierarchy. For anyone
who hasn’t used those, it would be basically the same as
managing a menu structure

Once created, an organigram can be viewed as a dedicated
page, a block, and a token

The 2.x branch uses Flexbox to achieve a CSS-only
presentation that removes the need for any Javascript

Appears to have been built to serve the needs of the
Dutch House of Representatives

I haven’t tested it, but I suspect that for a site with a
very large organigram they need to build, tools like Client
Side Hierarchical Select, built to make managing large
taxonomies easier, are likely to work with Organigrams too
