The Phoenix Project

A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win

Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George Spafford • IT Revolution Press • 2013

DevOps Made Clear

by David Meyer

This surprisingly readable business parable – and the clear information that follows – provides a rare, concise, clear overview of DevOps.

Information technology experts Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George Spafford offer the basics of DevOps, an IT management system that promotes collaboration and coordination among IT operations, software developers, other business units and product owners.

This pragmatic approach to IT is a philosophical movement that set out to change IT operations as much as the Toyota Production System revolutionized production lines in the 1980s. The authors structure their book as a business fable – indeed, a business parable – about how DevOps saves the fictitious auto parts company Parts Unlimited.

    A solid DevOps foundation book. Consider reading Accelerate and the DevOps Handbook for more recent reads and this as background.

    I have read the book, which I would highly encourage for a great read! I come back to the summary once and a while to refresh myself on the concepts.
