Manager: Bob get to work on the quick fix that will mitigate some of the attacks based on the published exploit to go out within a day, Alice get to work on the correct fix to address the underlying issue to go out in a few weeks when it's fully tested and ready.

Manager: Alice, yeah, I know I said we'd carve out time this sprint for you to work on the long-term fix. But this other hot feature request came in, and there's potentially a lot of money riding on getting it done quickly. So can you put off the long-term fix, maybe a week? Two tops. You can just put the ticket.. yeah that one.. back on the backlog. There you go. Thanks so much!
