Pareto Principle Projects
Discussions focus on the Pareto principle (80/20 rule) applied to project timelines, especially in software development, where the first 80-90% of work takes a proportional amount of time but the final 10-20% consumes the remaining majority of effort. Variations like the ninety-ninety rule are commonly referenced.

It's a bit like the Pareto principle. 20% of the work takes 80% of the time.
The first 80% of a project takes 80% of the time. The last 20% of the project takes the other 80% of the time.

You know what they say: the first 80% takes 80% of the time, and the last 20% takes the other 80% of the time.
The first 90% takes 90% of the project time the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time.
Sounds like the 80/20 rule with extra steps.
The 80-20 rule: the last 20 percent of the work takes 80 percent of the time.
It's like they say: the first 90% of the work takes 90% of the time, and the last 10% of the work takes the other 90% of the time.
That sounds like an 80/20 rule application.
