I had not read Beyond the Goal, on which this program was modelled. Will now listen to Goldratt's work. Thank you to Gene and John for making this. Enlightening.

Great insight into the people with vision that contributed to the growing DevOps phenomenon. So many references and ideas to explorer. If you read the Phoenix project read this as to the underlying thought process.
