Explanation

A Pareto diagram (Pareto chart) is a quality tool based on the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle), which states that roughly 80% of problems stem from 20% of causes.

A Gantt chart tracks schedules, a flowchart maps processes, and user documentation provides instructions-none of these prioritize improvement efforts.
