The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win
by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, George Spafford
An entertaining and insightful story about the transformation of an old, traditional IT department into a modern agile DevOps team.
Bill is appointed head of the IT department and is to help the “Phoenix” IT project, which is under massive pressure from features and deadlines, to succeed. He is confronted with problems that many of us know only too well: Uncompleted features planned months in advance; manual deployments that go wrong and keep the operations department awake night after night; developers who blame operations and vice versa; employees who turn directly to developers – bypassing all processes. Bill has 90 days to fix the mess; otherwise, his department will be outsourced.
