The Phoenix Project

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.
