Agile approaches allow to use small deliverables as a metrics for progress, and they priorize the most important deliverables first, and they allow to adapt the definition of when "what means 100%". But this is essentially all there in the existing answers, so I am not going to write my own. | |

In addition, project managers must not be allowed to lie to management about progress -- either use no project managers, or reduce the consequences of honest communications. | |

| Aug 10, 2017 at 18:49 | comment | added | Kwebble | What is the 90% completion you mention, 90% of single features or 90% of a complete project? | |
| Aug 10, 2017 at 18:17 | comment | added | Pieter B | I think it's the 80/20 rule in action: 80% of the job takes 20% of your time and the other 20% takes 80% of your time. So basically if you're done 90% job-wise, you're only there about half-way time-wise. | |
