Manager: Did you get the email?
Developer: Which email?
Manager: From the Business Analyst.
Developer: Oh, I just received it. Did they find a bug?
Manager: No. It’s a new requirement.
Developer: For next week?
Manager: No. They need it today.
Developer: I thought UAT was locked.
Manager: It is, but they said it’s important, and I told them that we could do it.
Developer. Okay...
Manager: It’s a simple change. You should be able to do it in fifteen minutes.
Developer: I have to analyze the requirement, determine which programs need to change, check out the code, make the modifications, run through the test plan, check in the changes, build a deployment package, and get it approved for release. I can’t do that in fifteen minutes.
Manager: Well, it has to be ready by 2 o’clock.
Developer: Alright, I’ll work through lunch. If I have any questions, I’ll check with the Business Analyst.
Manager: You’d better catch him soon.
Developer: Why?
Manager: He’s going on the corporate golf outing.
Crickets: Cheep-cheep! Cheep-cheep!
Developer: I’ll figure it out.
