A "pony" is a deliverable they wish me to provide that is "important but not urgent" in Covey's quadrants, and is (usually) not budgeted. Each person can ask for one and only one pony at a time. I can, like any parent, say "No." Only when I give them their current pony are they able to ask for another. I get good results with this system, and it's fun to have a VP walk up and ask: "Can I have my pony yet?"
