The Hard Reality of Programming Timelines
Programming projects often face the challenge of a non-linear progression, where the initial phases may seem to progress swiftly, leading to the misconception that the remaining work will be just as easy. This phenomenon is captured in the saying that the first 90% of a project takes only half the time, whereas the final 10% drags on substantially longer. It highlights the importance of recognizing this pattern to better manage expectations and project timelines. Understanding this concept can help teams plan more effectively and mitigate the anxiety that comes with unexpected delays.
