The ninety-ninety rule of project scheduling *
The server upgrade at Client S has proceeded as follows:
Installing the new server -- a couple of hours. Updating the new server -- a couple of hours. Configuring the new server -- a couple of hours. Moving almost all of the desktops out of the old domain and into the new one, and reconfiguring appropriately -- a couple of hours. Moving the last two desktops out of the old domain and into the new one, and reconfiguring appropriately -- Two days so far, and counting. We pick up on Monday morning where we left off.
*The first ninety percent of a project takes the first ninety percent of the time; the last ten percent of a project takes the remaining ninety percent of the time.
