Organizational Structure

The video tutorial discusses three main types of organizational structures: the classic hierarchy, team-based organizations, and matrix-style organizations. The classic hierarchy is a traditional structure with a clear top-down chain of command. Team-based organizations focus on collaboration across different areas, promoting cross-training and a shared vocabulary. The matrix style combines elements of both hierarchy and team-based structures, creating a grid where employees have multiple reporting lines. The video encourages viewers to share their experiences and terminology related to these structures.
