IT Revolution Press The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win

Great book. Must read for everyone in IT

A very good book

A must have. Amazing

Great book, very pleasant to read but also full of interesting cases.

Highly recommend this book for anyone who has any dealings with IT, whether you are a business person, manager or IT professional. Easy to read and understand the concepts since the entire book is an example of implementing DevOps within IT. And the cover is beautiful!

En primer lugar aclarar que es una novela no un manual, para aquellos que desean leerlo, yo lo adquirí sabiendo esto y me resulta una lectura muy interesante y dinámica, que ayuda a conocer la cultura DevOps y comprender cómo esta cultura sirve para mejorar en muchos aspectos la TI así como muchos procesos de la operación y por ende del negocio en las compañías donde es implementada.

Excellent livre, je conseille vivement

The Phoenix Project earns its reputation as the DevOps bible by doing something rare: it makes complex systems thinking feel deeply human, practical, and urgent. Through a fast-paced, novel-style narrative, the book introduces “The Three Ways”—Flow, Feedback, and Continuous Learning—which together explain how high-performing technology organizations actually work. The First Way (Flow) shows why visualising work, identifying bottlenecks, and optimising the entire system matter far more than local efficiency. You quickly see how invisible queues, siloed teams, and constant interruptions quietly strangle delivery. The Second Way (Feedback) reinforces the power of fast, honest feedback loops—technical and human—so problems are surfaced early rather than buried until they become crises. The Third Way (Continuous Learning and Experimentation) is where the book really shines: failures aren’t shameful, they’re data. Learning becomes a habit, not a post-mortem. What makes The Phoenix Project so compelling is how familiar it feels. From firefighting releases and failed launches to leadership pressure and cultural resistance, many readers will see their own organisations reflected in the story—especially those navigating large-scale digital transformation, DevOps adoption, or persistent team models. The book also delivers practical insights: breaking down silos through cross-functional teams, creating shared visibility with tools like Kanban boards, and fostering a culture where experimentation and open feedback are the norm. These aren’t abstract ideals—they’re concrete shifts that move organisations from constant firefighting to sustained innovation. Ultimately, The Phoenix Project is not just about DevOps or IT. It’s about how work flows, how people learn, and how organisations change. A must-read for leaders, technologists, and anyone serious about building resilient, adaptive, high-performing teams.
