According to the article, who devised the 1st GANTT chart?
Karol Adamiecki Karol Adamiecki devised the first "Gantt" chart, back in 1896. He was a Polish engineer turned management professor who came up with the idea of displaying processes visually so that he could make it easier to see production schedules. (He did most of his work in the steel industry.) He called it the harmonogram (a much better word) but he published his articles on it in Polish and Russian, so the English-speaking world didn't know much about it. Henry Gantt had the same idea, but about 15 years later. In 1910, Gantt started planning visually with bar charts to allow supervisors in the steel works to see if production was on track or behind schedule. It was Gantt's name that got attached to this way of planning, but today it's generally recognized that Adamiecki had the idea first.
