Pareto’s 80/20 rule

Identify ten current work tasks that are on your ‘to do’ list. Using the 80/20 rule, consider the contribution and value each one has on your effectiveness at work. Which 20% of tasks contribute the most to 80% of the results you need to achieve?

GANTT Charts

A typical GANTT chart has the tasks listed on the left with a timeline across the top. This allows tasks and activities to be plotted along the chosen timeline. Weekly divisions have been used in the example, but days or months could also be used if needed.
