The 90-50 Rule
In this post, the author discusses the “90-50 rule,” which suggests that when completing a project, the last 10% of work can take 50% of the time. This phenomenon highlights the challenges of finalizing details and overcoming obstacles that arise during the final stages of a project. The post emphasizes the importance of planning for this time discrepancy to better manage expectations and deadlines.
Generated by Azure AI on June 24, 2024I have a new rule of thumb for Web development: the 90-50 rule. This rule comes into effect when you get 90% done with a project…and only have 50% left to do.
The details are what kill you, and they trail on forever, it seems. So, when you’re 90% done, remember the 90-50 rule, and know that you’re really only 50% done.
I didn’t make the rule, I’m merely pointing out the obvious.
