ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Phoenix Project: A Novel about I.T., DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win" by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford tells the story of Bill Palmer, who is suddenly promoted to lead I.T. Operations at the struggling company, Parts Unlimited. He inherits a department plagued by constant crises, failed projects, and a crucial initiative named Phoenix that is perpetually delayed. Facing immense pressure from the company's executives, Bill must find a way to stabilize the chaotic I.T. environment and deliver business value. The narrative follows his journey as he grapples with broken processes, resource constraints, and the critical need to improve the relationship between Development and Operations to save the company from potential disaster. The book delves into the challenges of I.T. management and the nascent application of principles aimed at fostering better collaboration and efficiency.
