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.

A guide to a way out for anyone buried in IT
Really enjoyable narration performance, and truly engaging way to get a message across rather than the usual 'do this and that' suggestions.
The initial set up was so true to my everyday reality it was scary. The suggestions, while they work magically in the book, are still very practical and I have already implemented several aspects at my company. I don't have a guru whispering suggestions to me so I'll need to listed to it again and I'm sure I'll be able to get to the next stage.
Thoroughly recommend to anyone in IT, Dev, PM or anywhere in between.

Enlightening
A great book. Well written and well read. An eye opening journey into IT, project management and the importance of systems and processes. I think this book will be beneficial to anyone that has to produce and deliver anything to one. This is much more than a book about IT.

Great way to tell the current IT ops life
coming from a background of Managed services in big company, two years ago I had no clue what DevOps was....I see why this is considered the DevOps Bible. Clever way to tell a story on the life of an IT manager.

Interesting format - engaging story
Where does The Phoenix Project rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Telling a classic tale of triumph against the odds in the context of enterprise info tech was an ambitious idea. I loved it to the end.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
It was great hearing the 'penny drop' in the heads of characters that worked 'in the business' that IT wasn't something separate.
