"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 manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined. With the clock ticking, Bill must organise workflow, 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 recognise. Readers will not only learn how to improve their own IT organisations, 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, Co-author of Continuous Delivery, Lean Enterprise, Accelerate, and The DevOps Handbook
