Today: Gantt charts are the preferred tool for managing projects of all sizes and types.1910-1915: Henry Gantt publishes his own project management system, the gantt chart.1931: Adamiecki publishes the harmonogram (but in Polish with limited exposure).
Meanwhile, Henry Gantt published his own project management system in the 1910s to a much wider audience. It got limited exposure at the time because it was only published in Polish. So why isn’t it called an Adamiecki chart? Good question!Īlthough Adamiecki created his precursor to the gantt chart-called the harmonogram-in the late 19th century, he didn’t publish it until 1931. The first project management chart was invented by Karol Adamiecki in 1896.
