Pareto analysis is a statistical technique in decision making used for selection of a limited of number of tasks that produce significant overall effect. It uses the Pareto principle - the idea that by doing 20% of work you can generate 80% of the advantage of doing the entire job.

Pareto analysis is a formal technique useful where many possible courses of action are competing for your attention. Basically, it consists in estimating of a benefit delivered by each action with subsequent selection of a number of the most effective actions that deliver the total benefit reasonably close to the maximal possible one.
