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.

Awesome

I'm a software engineer with a strong technical background, and as such I understood easily all the technical references being made. As I was listening to the first couple of chapters I was aware that it may well be a book that has a smaller target audience in that respect.
If you have a technical or busienss background, this is an enjoyable, well written, and insightful book, bringing together the concepts of Agile, Scrum, Lean processes, and Constraints in a thoroughly entertaining manner.
Having just finished the book, I am sure I'll be listening to it again more than once
Perhaps not for everyone...

Although there have since been more detailed accounts of the topics highlighted released, this remains an enjoyable and insightful listen/read.
Certainly a great, even mandatory, starting point for anyone and a tale that is still too evident in today's business and IT environments.
Superb. The audiobook is the icing on the cake
