What are some other principles similar to the Pareto principle?

Some principles similar to the Pareto principle include the Peter Principle, Parkinson's Law, and the Law of Diminishing Returns. The Peter Principle states that in a hierarchy, employees tend to rise to their level of incompetence. Parkinson's Law states that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. The Law of Diminishing Returns states that if one factor of production is increased while others are held constant, the output per unit of the variable factor will eventually diminish.

Question was asked on:

Next up are Pareto charts, which get their name from the Pareto principle, which states that for many outcomes, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes. This is a prioritization tool to help identify the most important next step. In the sample datasets, we have a customer feedback Pareto analysis that counts the occurrences of different reasons customers unsubscribe, and a productivity Pareto analysis that counts the number of monthly bottlenecks that interrupt company productivity.
