    You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
    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.

    In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
     
     
     
    While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

    In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene.

    In the digital age, cybersecurity has become one of the most critical aspects of both personal and organizational operations. As technology continues to evolve and more systems become interconnected, the threat landscape has grown increasingly complex. Modern cybersecurity not only addresses the protection of networks and devices but also involves safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in the face of constantly evolving threats. This chapter provides an overview of what modern cybersecurity entails and the key components that are essential to creating robust defense mechanisms. 
    Cybersecurity today is far more than just installing antivirus software or setting up firewalls. As cybercriminals grow more sophisticated, the need for advanced security frameworks and strategies has never been greater. The introduction of new technologies, like the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), has expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals, creating more opportunities for exploitation. Attacks now can come from anywhere, targeting not just computers but mobile devices, servers, and even connected appliances. 
    At its core, modern cybersecurity is about understanding the various threats and the methods used by attackers. These threats can range from malware, phishing, and ransomware to more advanced persistent threats (APTs) often launched by state-sponsored actors. The motives behind cyberattacks are diverse, from financial gain and intellectual property theft to causing widespread disruption and damage to critical infrastructure. As these threats become more varied and complex, cybersecurity professionals must constantly adapt and stay ahead of emerging risks. This has led to the creation of more advanced cybersecurity practices, including penetration testing, threat intelligence, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
