There are not many cases, it can be observed in our natural surroundings where we find an equal distribution of anything of value. Population and wealth and productivity in the workplace, and even the harvest of a plot farmers - A concentration of the products resulting from the minority, which represents the vast majority of the crop. This is just a way to Pareto Principle, pointing to rebuild, as a general rule titled after its namesake, who discovered the principle that as managers, we would be wise to apply in our own projects:
and most of the effects seen in the projects will come as a result of a minority of the work that your team does.
Pareto principle is "vital few law." More specifically, it asserts that by focusing on the 20% of the work that matters most to your client, then you will produce 80% of your project results. It's very important to remember the importance of this principle in two specific areas as the progress of the project: time management and quality control.
1) Time Management
and one of the pictorial wires that project managers have to balance throughout the project life cycle It is that fine line between meeting customer requests are difficult to satisfy with a tight schedule for the project from the ever escalating restrictions. So, what do you do when you add stakeholders nice to be the scale, small changes clause, or requests for jobs that do not necessarily add value or efficiency of their business processes? Or How can perfection that has a tendency to pour hours of unnecessary development to product improvements to satisfy a specific user or owner of the business developer to address? Inhibition unreservedly gold plating by enforcing and educating your teammates on the Pareto principle.
to apply it in your own projects, and look at what we learned earlier: identify 20% of the needs or jobs that will most satisfy the case of the original works of the project and avoid amending and modifications that add little overall functional value. Making impact survey trivial updates her on the project schedule, costs, and the success of the project illegal. And logic with stakeholders and colleagues in this way often win them over to your side, and will help to protect your schedule.
2) Quality Control
ensure the quality of the final delivery through the development of first-class and comprehensive testing and verification is given, is not it? A more difficult task, however, may be giving priority to the resolution of the defects found during the test. In this case, it can also be applied to the Pareto principle when dealing with issues of the system: 20 percent of the defects causing 80% of the problems. What this means for your team? Although it may be tempting to address the "hanging fruit" - flaws that are easy to fix, but not necessarily important for the business - it's wiser to convert the bulk of your efforts to address the most difficult issues. Isolate the more important 20% that will bring 80% or most of the benefits to your client. This focus leads to increase the success achieved and a higher level of customer satisfaction. It should deliver the functionality most important to their business less defects. Once have been processed more difficult 20%, you can deal with this easy to win the confidence of knowing that you've already met the majority of the client's needs.
If there is one thing you can take away from this rule is used for a long time, and remember this: While I certainly do not discourage work harder, being armed with prior knowledge of the Pareto principle, you can direct your team's efforts to work smarter. While not reduce the value of the remaining 80% of the work that you need to do after putting this principle into practice, your clients will thank you for identifying project tasks priorities to meet the bulk of its needs first.
