The 90/10 rule for Projects?

90% of the work is completed in 10% of the time….the remaining 10% of the effort is completed in 90% of the scheduled time. I’ve heard of the 80/20 rule…but the 90/10 rule is a new one.

I had one of my clients explain how the 90/10 rule is killing his projects…and I started thinking about this and started noticing it in the project I’m working on too.

That last ‘little bit of stuff’ seems to take forever to get done…..or maybe I’m just not that good at managing projects :)
