Henry Gantt (Management Expert)

Henry Gantt was an American engineer and management consultant best known for developing the Gantt chart, a visual tool for project management that helps in planning and scheduling tasks. Created in the early 20th century, this chart displays project timelines with tasks represented as bars along a timeline, making it easy to see task duration and progress. Gantt’s work emphasized efficiency and productivity in the workplace, promoting the idea that workers should be involved in the planning process. His contributions are fundamental to modern project management practices and continue to influence how teams organize their work today.
