Release Plan

Mario: is of course the developer trying to save the princess

Princess: is the release

Barrels: are either feature requests or bugs

Hammer: reconsider / won't fix

Story: Mario starts at the wrong end. He is actually done developing at the time the release comes into action, but has to run his way up through the plan to make the release on time and help the princess. On the way up, there are all kind of features and bugs rolling down wanting to hurt Mario. He has no possibility whatsoever to get them done faster. However, it is in his power to keep some of them from getting done before he reaches the princess.

In my opinion, every company today has to do some software (or should), but there are very different ways to go about it.
