THE BOSS (PURPLE) THE MINION (BLUE)
Hey, how is the new widget coming along?
I haven’t had a chance to work on it yet.
But I thought you said it’d be done
last week. Yeah, I’m just too busy and I have to do that thing for Professor Angrymann.
But you got that last widget done so
quickly. No, the last widget also took me a long Nme to finish.
Really? How long did it take? Umm…
I’m not sure, but I know it took a long Nme.
Hmm. You don’t sound that busy to me. Why
don’t you just stay late and get the widget done. But what do I tell Professor Angrymann?!!

THE BOSS (PURPLE) THE MINION (BLUE)
Hey, how is the new widget coming along?
I haven’t had the chance to work on it yet.
Why not? I’m working on 4 other projects.
Based on my previous experience, I think I can get to the widget in about 2 weeks.
But you got that last widget done so
fast. No, the last widget took a long Nme too, and I was working on fewer projects.
Well, how long did it take? The
last widget took 120 hours to finish, and I was only working on 4 other projects.
Wow, I didn’t realize you were so busy.
So which of my projects would you like me to focus on right now? Well, we need to get that that widget done ASAP.
Tell Angrymann that his request will have to wait.
If you get hassled, have Angrymann come talk to me. OK, I can work on the widget, but what about Prof. Angrymann’s request?

HIVE: Can we add this new widget? YOU:
Yes we can, but are you willing to wait an extra 4 weeks for your product to launch?

the web site is ‘done’. YOU: So I built that new widget that you asked for, so we’re ready to launch.
