Gantt's contributions to project scheduling

Henry Gantt, an American engineer and project management pioneer, created the Gantt Chart in the early 20th century. This visual tool maps out a project's tasks along a timeline, showing their start and end dates, and how they overlap or depend on each other. It helps managers plan, coordinate, and track progress efficiently. Gantt’s contribution made project scheduling clearer and more manageable, enabling teams to visualize their workload, identify potential delays, and ensure timely completion of projects. His chart remains a fundamental and widely used tool in project management today.
