  You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team.  When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie".  She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers.  She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind.  No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.   
  Now the problem has fallen into your lap.  What do you do about it? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.

  Nancy - A Portrait of My Years...

  Candid, moving and insightful, Nancy is the most personal look at Nancy Davis Reagan ever published 
  Nancy Davis Reagan has led an extraordinary life; it has also been an extraordinarily private one. Now Mike Deaver, whose relationship with Mrs. Reagan dates back to the1960s, shares the side of Nancy that only her intimates know. 
  The woman portrayed in Nancy is far more complicated than the stereotype. No cardboard cutout, she is pure flesh and blood, a woman of immense will and fortitude. And in the Reagans' fifty-year marriage, Ron always received top billing. She is convinced that her husband was one of the great men of the twentieth century -- a rare world leader who changed the tide of history. Nancy has been no bit player in the story. Deaver believes that Reagan would not have risen to such distinction without Nancy at his side. 
  Reluctantly drawn into politics, Nancy gradually embraced her role. To the president, Nancy Reagan would bring discipline. She would ask the tough questions. When his image might be tainted, she would fervently guard it, even at the expense of her own. 
  To Ronald Reagan the man, who always had trouble expressing intimacy, Nancy gave the gift of her unrestricted love. Now to a man no longer capable of looking after himself, Nancy is everything there is left to be: caretaker, guardian, nurturer of the Reagan legacy.

  Chemtrails Exposed

  If you have even a shred of common sense left in you, then the truth should already be screaming at you from above. The streaks that linger for hours, the hazy white veil that dulls the sun, the grid-like patterns that crisscross an otherwise clear sky—these are not the skies our grandparents knew. These are not natural phenomena. These are the fingerprints of something deliberate, something engineered. 
  Stratospheric aerosol injection, solar radiation management, climate intervention—whatever euphemism the establishment wants to slap on it, the reality remains the same. We are being sprayed. The weather is being manipulated and weaponized. And it's not just happening in secret anymore; it's happening right in front of us, with the approval of agencies, corporations, and shadowy networks who claim to know what's best for the world…but never ask for our consent. 
  You'll see the patents. You'll read the admissions tucked away in obscure scientific papers and government hearings, and you'll see photographic evidence. The science isn't hypothetical—it's operational. And the effects are undeniable: shifting weather patterns, ecological disruption, dying crops, rising illness. Still, the media gaslights the public, insisting it's all a "conspiracy theory," while the white haze in the sky grows thicker with every passing year. 
  This book wasn't written for the blindly obedient. It was written for the curious, the skeptical, and most of all—the awake. If you still think the sky is normal, that those white trails are just harmless vapor after reading this book, then perhaps the ruling elite's programming has done its job. Because if this book doesn't open your eyes, nothing will."

  Cull of the Wild - Killing in...

  Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming, or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. 
   
   
   
  Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humor in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals and protect native species—including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, cane toads in Australia, and the smooth-billed ani on the Galapagos—and describes cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade. 
   
   
   
  Taking a balanced and open approach to this emotive subject, Hugh speaks to experts on all sides of the debate. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritize? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation?
