What this video covers
The Pareto principle shows that most impact comes from a small part of the cause - about 80% of value from 20% of the things. In products, a few features drive most use.
You reached four-fifths of all usage by selecting just a couple of features out of ten. That lopsidedness is the Pareto principle, and it changes where you spend effort: the vital few deserve most of your craft, while the trivial many can wait - or go.
