About Groundbreaking Designs

The company was founded with the aim of helping small businesses establish an online presence.

Groundbreaking Designs began building its first software application in August 2009. At the time, they were both developing software for a large roofing contractor in Baltimore, Maryland. After searching hard for a good way to schedule and collaborate on projects online, they couldn't find anything that did both well. They decided to tackle the challenge of building what would eventually become TeamGantt on nights and weekends.

Nathan and John soon realized that other companies might be interested in the product as well. As soon as an early version of TeamGantt was ready, they made it available for others to try. It quickly became a hit, as many others were looking for the same thing!

After iterating on user feedback and paying close attention to usability, Groundbreaking Designs officially launched TeamGantt in November 2010. Within a few hours, they had their first customer, and in that first year, they attracted big names such as Twitter, Expedia, and Turner Broadcasting.

After the successful launch of TeamGantt, Groundbreaking Designs rebranded to align its corporate identity with its flagship product. Now, the company and its software are both recognized as TeamGantt.

From that point on, Groundbreaking Designs shifted its focus solely to TeamGantt with the goal of helping teams large and small from every industry work smarter on their projects.

Today, Groundbreaking Designs develops software for the project management industry.

Groundbreaking Designs is best known as the maker of TeamGantt.

TeamGantt is an online gantt chart software application that visualizes planning and makes project management and collaboration easy for teams.

TeamGantt offers drag and drop simplicity with flexible workflows that include to-do list, calendar, and Kanban board views in addition to gantt charts. Other key features include:

• Milestones
• Dependencies
• Resource planning and management
• Integrated time tracking
• Project health reports

The impact of Groundbreaking Designs on the software industry

The company’s work has had a significant impact on the industry by being one of the first software developers to put a full-featured, collaborative gantt chart at the center of the plan.

The firm’s focus on building a clean and simple interface has modernized gantt charts and made them easy for anyone to navigate and use. Its work has inspired other project management software companies to incorporate gantt charts or other timeline-based features into their products.
