About this listen

Five years after this sleeper hit took on the world of IT and flipped it on its head, the fifth anniversary edition of The Phoenix Project continues to guide IT in the DevOps revolution. In this newly updated and expanded edition of the best-selling The Phoenix Project, co-author Gene Kim includes a new afterword and a deeper delve into the Three Ways as described in The DevOps Handbook.

Bill, an IT manager at Parts Unlimited, has been tasked with taking on a project critical to the future of the business, code named Phoenix Project. But the project is massively over budget and behind schedule. The CEO demands Bill must fix the mess in 90 days, or else Bill’s entire department will be outsourced.

With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious philosophy of the Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in common with manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined. With the clock ticking, Bill must organize work flow, streamline interdepartmental communications, and effectively serve the other business functions at Parts Unlimited.

In a fast-paced and entertaining style, three luminaries of the DevOps movement deliver a story that anyone who works in IT will recognize. Listeners will not only learn how to improve their own IT organizations, they’ll never view IT the same.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Highly engrossing book with superb audio

The audible reader justifies each character role play and keeps you engaged. The emotions of laughter and seriousness keeps you deeply engaged.
I have managed to finish this book in record time and all credit to both incredible writing and superb work by audible team.
It describes the situations in IT projects with minutest detail and tries suggesting some simple things to watch out for in our day to day work.
Highly recommended if you’re related to DevOps world.

A must read for every IT Manager!!!

Oh my GOD!!! Is the IT Managers job so predictable and same anywhere you go! For a moment I felt the author was following me around at my work place!
Would definitely buy the next The Unicorn Project....
Also I loved the concept of a technical book embedded into a novel with characters and added fiction!
Cheers to the authors!
