Strety Roles Chart: Complete Guide

Our Roles Chart combines two of the most important elements of your organization:

  • Who reports to who

  • Who is accountable for what

In building out your Roles Chart, you'll be providing a clear & transparent picture of the roles and responsibilities + who is accountable for them at every level of your organization

To access your Roles Chart click on the Company tab from anywhere within Strety

If you're new to Strety, you'll see a blank Roles Chart with a handful of roles already in there serving as starting points

Customizing the Roles Chart

To edit any role, click into it. From there, you can customise the names of your roles, add Assignee(s), and add Responsibilities, set the Role's Status, and add External Assignees (if the role is owned by a non Strety user)
โ€‹

To add additional roles beneath a parent role, click the 3-dot menu and select Add Role Below. You can also use the Move functions to customize the order of your roles within each level of your organization

To expand or collapse branches of your Roles Chart click on the + or x beneath the parent role


Adding External Users

Perhaps not everyone on your Roles Chart is a Strety member... yet. There's still a way for you to enter their name so that it's explicitly clear who owns that role & its responsibilities

To enter an external/placeholder user, edit the role and type in the name(s) to the External assignees field

Once entered, they will appear as avatars with their initials on the roles chart (including the printable pdf)


Exporting the Roles Chart

Click the 3-dot menu to Export to PDF and the roles chart will arrive in your inbox shortly


How to Create Team Specific Roles Chart Drafts/Versions

Planning for growth or an organizational restructure? Or maybe you have a team that wants to create their own custom Roles Chart separate from the organizational. Strety allows you to create different drafts of your Roles Chart to help your team better visualize the future!

To create new version(s) of your Roles Chart, first enable the tool from your team's Tools:

Toggle on the Roles Chart

Note: While all Teams can enable Roles Charts only the Leadership Team can set the organizational default

Option 1: Create a Roles Chart (from scratch)

This option allows you to build a brand new Roles Chart from a blank slate!

Option 2: Duplicate (from existing)

This option allows you to use the existing Organization Wide Roles Chart as your starting point to add/remove/edit as needed

If/when you want to set a draft/version as the Organization Wide Roles Chart, click the 3-dot menu
