So we have two bits of work that are both pretty urgent, I'll call them Foo and Bar for simplicity.

Foo is a re-write of a component. No one will notice it in itself but it makes writing other stuff easier. This a months work.

Bar uses Foo. We can get it working with the old Foo in about a month, but with the rewritten Foo would only take about two weeks. If we do it before the re-write it will still need to be redone afterwards.

In the happy fluffy World of Dev we do Foo then Bar and that's six weeks of good work.

In the nasty spit ball World of Sales a customer needs Bar and won't wait 6 weeks, even 4 is too long!

Now for my question. How long do I leave it before Bob the Sales has an unfortunate accident? Suspicious | :suss:
