Project management History

1 Two forefathers of project management are Henry Gantt, called the father of planning

and control techniques, who is famous for his use of the Gantt chart as a project

management tool (alternatively Harmonogram first proposed by Karol

Adamiecki); and Henri Fayol for his creation of the five management functions that form

the foundation of the body of knowledge associated with project and program

management

ad-hoc basis, using mostly Gantt charts and informal techniques and

tools


Project management Event chain methodology

1 Event chain visualization: Events and event chains can be visualized using

event chain diagrams on a Gantt chart.

of events and to create network charts and Gantt charts, not bundled

in any Office suite

1 * Ability to plan using and sequence activities using CPM/PDM/PERT or Gantt Chart method,


Industrial engineering - History

1 In 1912 Henry Laurence Gantt developed the Gantt chart which outlines actions the organization

along with their relationships. This chart opens later form familiar to us

today by Wallace Clark.


Function model - History

1 The first known Gantt Chart was developed in 1896 by Karol Adamiecki, who called it a

harmonogram

Gantt chart

1 Gantt charts can be used to show current schedule status using

percent-complete shadings and a vertical "TODAY" line as shown here.


Gantt chart

1 Although now regarded as a common charting technique, Gantt charts were

considered revolutionary when first introduced. In recognition of Henry

Gantt's contributions, the Henry Laurence Gantt Medal is awarded for distinguished

achievement in management and in community service. This chart is also

used in information technology to represent data that has been collected.


Gantt chart - Historical development

1 One of the first major applications of Gantt charts was by the United

States during World War I, at the instigation of General William Crozier.


Gantt chart - Historical development

1 In the 1980s, personal computers allowed for widespread creation of complex and elaborate Gantt charts. The first desktop

applications were intended mainly for project managers and project schedulers.

With the advent of the Internet and increased collaboration over networks at

the end of the 1990s, Gantt charts became a common feature of web-based

applications, including collaborative groupware.


Gantt chart - Example

1 A Gantt chart created using Microsoft Project (MSP). Note (1) the critical path is in red, (2) the slack is the

black lines connected to non-critical activities, (3) since Saturday and

Sunday are not work days and are thus excluded from the schedule, some bars on the Gantt chart are

longer if they cut through a weekend.


Event chain methodology - Event Chain Diagrams

1 The simplest way to represent these chains is to depict them as arrows

associated with certain tasks or time intervals on the Gantt chart


Microsoft SharePoint 2010 - Lists libraries

1 SharePoint supports the creation of multiple views of a list or library,

including Gantt chart and calendar views. Views can define columns to

show, rankings, aggregation and establish criteria for inclusion in the

list. Views can be personal or distributed to a group of users.


Personal information management - Relation to time management and productivity

1 By similar argument, a discussion of time management or task

management on a personal level quickly takes us back to a discussion

of PIM. Both time and task management make heavy use of

information tools and external forms of information such as to-do lists, calendars, timelines, Gantt charts,

etc.; this information, to be managed like other information.


Business Process Modeling - History

1 The Gantt charts were among the first to arrive around 1899, the flow charts in the 1920s, Functional Flow

treemaps display logical relationships between items, and do not display

spatial relationships at all.

Gantt (disambiguation)

1 A 'Gantt chart' is a popular type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule and

estimation.


William Crozier (artillerist) - Gantt chart

1 In 1917, after a careful inspection of certain factories in which Henry Gantt had installed his methods, Crozier, then Chief of Ordnance,

retained Gantt to act in a consulting capacity on production, first at the

Frankford Arsenal, and then, immediately after the declaration of war, in the Ordnance Department at

Washington.Henry Wallace Clark|Wallace Clark and Henry Gantt

Gantt - Further applications

1 Gantt charts can be used for scheduling generic resources, so as

well as their use in project management, they can also be used in scheduling (production processes)|scheduling production processes and

schedule (workplace)|employee rostering. In the latter context, they

may also be known as timebar schedules.


Gantt - Further applications

1 There are many computer applications supporting the use of

Gantt charts for employee scheduling software|employee scheduling. Gantt charts can be used to track shifts or

tasks and also vacations or other types of out-of-office time.

OmniPlan

1 'OmniPlan' is a planning and project management software product from The Omni Group. The software was released as a public Development stage#Beta|beta on 6 June 2006.

Progress bar

1 The concept of a progress bar was invented before digital computing. In 1896 Karol Adamiecki developed a chart which he called a harmonogram, which is better

known today as a Gantt chart. Adamiecki did not publish his chart until 1931,

however, and then only in Polish language|Polish. The chart thus now bears the name of Henry Gantt (1861–1919), who designed his chart around the years 1910-1915 and

popularized it in the west. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-gantt-chart-toolkit.html

Issue (computers) - Project planning, monitoring and control

1 The purpose of project planning is to identify the scope of the project,

Estimation in software engineering|estimate the work involved, and

create a Gantt chart|project schedule. Project planning begins

with Requirements analysis|requirements that define the

software to be developed. The project plan is then developed to

describe the tasks that will lead to completion.


4D BIM - History

1 4D BIM adds a new dimension (time) to 3D CAD or solid modelling; it

enables a sequence of events to be depicted visually on a time line that has been populated by a 3D model
