The first known tool of this type was reportedly developed in 1896 by Karol , who called it a harmonogram. Adamiecki did not publish his chart until 1931, however, and then only in Polish. The chart is commonly known after Henry Gantt (1861–1919), who designed his chart around the years 1910–1915.
A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise the work breakdown schedule of the project. It can be used to show current schedule status using percent-complete shadings and a vertical "TODAY" line as shown here. It is a useful tool for planning and scheduling projects.
