I work on a team in which a few people adopted the strategy of doing 20% of the work for 80% of the impact. That leaves the rest of us doing the remaining 80%.

I work on a team in which a few people adopted the strategy of doing 20% of the work for 80% of the impact. That leaves the rest of us doing the remaining 80%. If the people doing most of the work are not getting the credit for it, how is it going to play out in the long run?
- afarrell 9y agoWhy does that 80% need to be done?
- jodrellblank 9y agoHow else do you get to 100% of the work done?
- afarrell 9y agoWhat I mean is that the number of pieces of work that can be done is some high multiple of the work that you can do. So find the projects that are in the top 20% of impact by starting with “why does this need to happen?” Of course if someone is only doing 20% of any given piece of work (say, never writing tests or refactoring or doing code review), then yea, that is a big problem.
