A Gantt chart showing three kinds of schedule dependencies (in red) and percent complete indications. Although now regarded as a common charting technique, Gantt charts were considered revolutionary when first introduced.[2] This chart is also used in information technology to represent data that have been collected. Historical development[edit] The first known tool of this type was developed in 1896 by Karol Adamiecki, who called it a harmonogram.[3] Adamiecki did not publish his chart until 1931, however, and only in Polish, which limited both its adoption and recognition of his authorship. The chart is named after Henry Gantt (1861–1919), who designed his chart around the years 1910–1915.[4][5] In the 1980s, personal computers allowed for widespread creation of complex and elaborate Gantt charts. The first desktop applications were intended mainly for project managers and project schedulers.

The earliest Gantt charts were drawn on paper and therefore had to be redrawn entirely in order to adjust to schedule changes. In the 1980s, personal computers allowed widespread creation of complex and elaborate Gantt charts. In 1999, Gantt charts were identified as "one of the most widely used management tools for project scheduling and control".
