Department

The root of the organisational chart is a department that represents the company.  

A Department is a resource that serves as a container for employee resources. A Department can contain any number of employees, but each employee can only be contained in exactly one Department. 
A Department can contain subdepartments to better organise the structure of the company. 

Each Department can be allocated to a project like an employee. In particular, each Department has an availability and workload, each of which consists of the sums of the availability and workloads of the employees contained in the Department and its Sub-Departments. 

At the Department level, there are various overviews that are useful for planning and monitoring the Department and its subordinate resources.
