  You are an Agile Coach and you are being called in to fix a bad problem.  Your client has entered into a fixed price contract with their client, but it looks like the project is going sour.  Half of the time and money have been spent but only about 30 percent of the milestones have been reached.  Management wants you to "do Agile" and fix the problem. 
  What should you do? 
  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.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

  The Ethics of Technology - Moral...

  In an age where technology permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, understanding the ethical foundations behind its development and use has never been more critical. Tech ethics, at its core, explores the moral principles that guide our decisions regarding the design, implementation, and impact of technology. As digital tools become increasingly powerful and integrated into society, they bring with them profound questions about responsibility, fairness, and the human consequences of innovation. 
  The roots of technology ethics can be traced back to classical moral philosophy. Thinkers like Aristotle, Kant, and Mill laid the groundwork for how we approach right and wrong, justice, and duty. These age-old theories—virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism—are still highly relevant in today's tech-driven world. For instance, when we ask whether a self-driving car should prioritize the life of a passenger over a pedestrian, we are invoking these very moral frameworks to guide the decision-making process. In this way, ethical theory provides a lens through which we can evaluate the choices we make as developers, users, and regulators of technology. 
  Modern concerns surrounding tech ethics often revolve around issues that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Digital privacy, algorithmic bias, and autonomous systems challenge us to reinterpret traditional moral values in new contexts. This requires a dynamic understanding of ethics—one that can evolve alongside technological change. Unlike in the past, where tools were relatively neutral and required human operation, today's technologies often act with a degree of independence, raising the stakes of their ethical implications. Machines that learn, adapt, and decide are not just tools; they become agents of action whose behavior must be morally accountable.

  This book contains two titles, which are: 
  · Deforestation: Forests are among the Earth’s most precious resources, spanning vast landscapes and serving as critical lifelines for countless species, including humanity. Their towering trees and dense undergrowth form a complex ecosystem that sustains biodiversity, provides essential resources, and regulates the natural processes that make life possible. Yet, beneath this quiet resilience, forests face an ongoing crisis. The relentless clearing of these vital ecosystems, known as deforestation, has become one of the greatest threats to our planet’s delicate balance.  
  · Pollution: Pollution is a pervasive and urgent global issue that affects every corner of the planet, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the land we depend on for survival. Over the past century, the rapid pace of industrialization, urbanization, and population growth has contributed significantly to environmental degradation. What was once seen as the price of progress has now become a formidable challenge that threatens the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems alike.

  2020 Audie Finalist  
  As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience. 
  What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we? 
  In this wonderfully accessible audiobook, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it. 
  Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness—allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can.
