What is Gantt Chart?
Gant chart provides a graphical representation of your activities by horizontal bars. It is a visual representation of a project schedule which displays the tasks, their dependencies and the timeline. It is powerful tool to represent complex project in a visual format where each activity is represented by a bar. The position of the bar and its length represents the start date, end date and duration of that activity.
In mid 1890s, the first Gantt chart was developed by Karol Adamiecki, a Polish engineer who ran a steelworks in southern Poland. He was interested in management ideas and techniques. Later Henry Gantt, an American engineer and project management consultant devised his own version of Gantt chart and that has gained popularity in western countries.
