BookPal × TalezoThe Phoenix Project
You know how it goes. The project is late. The last release broke something. The one engineer who can fix it is busy fixing three other things, and the business blames IT for all of it. The Phoenix Project is the story of that feeling, and of the way out.
On his way into work, Bill Palmer receives a call from HR with what is supposed to be good news. Bill’s boss and his boss's boss are out, and Bill is the new VP of IT Operations at Parts Unlimited, a $4 billion auto parts company. That same morning, the payroll run fails. Then there is Phoenix, the project the company has bet its future on, which is years late and $20 million in. When it finally launches, it takes down the checkout systems in the stores. The CEO gives IT ninety days to turn things around, or it will all be outsourced.
Help comes from Erik, a cryptic prospective board member who insists that IT has more in common with a factory floor than Bill wants to believe. The Three Ways he teaches, the principles behind DevOps, finally explain what Bill has been living with. Why work never seems to finish. Why the same fires keep breaking out. Why everything is waiting on one engineer named Brent.
Like The Goal, Eliyahu Goldratt's classic novel about saving a failing factory, The Phoenix Project teaches through story. You learn the principles the way Bill does, one crisis at a time, and you may find Parts Unlimited uncomfortably familiar.
If you work in IT, or your business depends on it, read this book. Then pass it to the person down the hall.
