Description

The Wall Street Journal bestselling book is now available in paperback for the first time.

A Wall Street Journal Bestseller!

In The Unicorn Project, we follow Maxine, a senior lead developer and architect, as she is exiled to the Phoenix Project, to the horror of her friends and colleagues, as punishment for contributing to a payroll outage. She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy and to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, and approvals.

The Age of Software is here, and another mass extinction event looms—this is a story about rebel developers and business leaders working together, racing against time to innovate, survive, and thrive in a time of unprecedented uncertainty…and opportunity.

Well, it was really interesting to read the other side - the one of dev - while the battle for phoenix is ongoing in ops. My main problem is that I am not sure about Maxine, I am not exactly sure about her role in the story. I wonder why everything must be better with functional and why the keeps telling everyone that she is good at something like a mantra. Also I don't that this rebellion approach is a good way to change anything.

There are no real humans in this book. It reads like a Business Operations handbook or something, except that it doesn't really do any super engaging examples. Dropped.
