Description
“Every person involved in a failed IT project should be forced to read this book.”--TIM O'REILLY, Founder & CEO of O'Reilly Media
“The Phoenix Project is a must read for business and IT executives who are struggling with the growing complexity of IT.” --JIM WHITEHURST, President and CEO, Red Hat, Inc.
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 ninety 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 a 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. Readers will not only learn how to improve their own IT organizations, they'll never view IT the same way again.
“This book is a gripping read that captures brilliantly the dilemmas that face companies which depend on IT, and offers real-world solutions.” --JEZ HUMBLE, coauthor of Continuous Delivery, Lean Enterprise, Accelerate, and The DevOps Handbook

Interessant, wenn man das Thema mag
Die Story an sich fand ich cool. Vor allem, wie die Veränderungen von Statten gehen und es immer weitere Wellen schlägt. Dabei war es auch im richtigen Maße schneller als im realen Leben gemacht, dass es nicht langweilig wurde, aber nicht zu schnell war. Was mich sehr gestört hat, war der Druck, der gerade zu Beginn sehr aufgekommen ist. Ich verstehe, dass es nötig war, um die Story funktionieren zu lassen, trotzdem fand ich es sehr unangenehm. Generell fehlte mir einfach der Punkt, an dem du auf dich und dein Leben acht geben solltest. Dadurch, dass das Buch in den USA spielt, ist es verständlicher, trotzdem hätte ich das wichtig gefunden. Fazit: Wenn einen das Thema interessiert, kann ich es definitiv empfehlen.
I really recommend to read this book, when you work in IT! I really had this "aha"-moment on the last few pages, but there were a few things I didn't know before starting with it. Like this is basically the foundation for the whole DevOps-movement, that this story is a variation of a rather famous book, which lead to the Lead-movement in production or that the story is real. Overall it really was eye-opening for me about the whole term and the handling. Also it is really refreshing to read a real story instead of another set of rules or recommendations that you have to follow, like in most other tech-related books.
