[Patternfly] Contribution to Pattern Library -> Data Visualization -> Organization Chart(Tree-like Chart)

[Sarahjane Clark]

Hi Xuebin!

We plan to use a tree structure in the application lifecycle management
(ALM) tool some of us are working on. Users told us that it would be
helpful to understand the relationship between Agile work items like epics
and stories or between items that have dependencies.

The inspiration for my designs in this area come from ancestry.com, a
genealogy service. I made a small video to show how to interact with the
tree [1]; I expect that for our ALM tool that we will use similar
interactions. Is this similar to how you use the org chart?

>From the technical side, I'm not sure what tools ancestry.com uses to
implement the tree, but I'm happy to ask them -- I'm a paying customer so
they might actually reply!  :)
