The problem I've been running into is that my second version took 1 month to reach 80% "complete" and is taking 3 more months to finish that last 20%.
- NickPollard 16y agoThat's just yet another instance of the 80/20 rule (derived from the Pareto Principle). In my industry (games) it's well known that 80% of the effort goes into the last 20% of the product, but also the last 20% of polish makes 80% of the quality.
