Pareto Analysis

What It Is Used For

• To organize and prioritize data from highest to lowest.

When to Use It

• When trying to prioritize activities or focus for a team or for an organization.

Important Notes

• The team or organization should focus on the vital few (those items with the highest levels) and not the trivial many (those with the lowest levels).
• If you have more than 6 categories, group all of the small ones together at the end in an “Other” category.
