What is the 8/80 rule for project breakdown?

It is a best practice suggesting that no task should take less than 8 hours (too granular) or more than 80 hours (too large) to ensure accurate tracking and estimation.

Can it identify project bottlenecks?

Yes, the skill utilizes Critical Path Analysis (CPA) to map dependencies and identify the sequence of tasks that determines the shortest possible project duration.

How does it handle project risks?

The skill facilitates a risk matrix approach, categorizing potential issues by impact and probability, and suggesting mitigation strategies like avoidance, reduction, or transfer.

How does this skill help with task estimation?

It provides standardized frameworks like Fibonacci Story Points, T-Shirt sizing, and Planning Poker methodologies to help teams reach a consensus on technical effort and complexity.
