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.

Excellent intro to challenges of managing an IT department
Great book to learn about the challenges IT departments face in a digital fast moving business world. Specially true for those businesses that are being held by the legacy nature of their departments.
I think it is very important to highlight the necessary cultural change that businesses need to make if they are to be successful.

Great Story
Working within IT I wasn't sure this book would be of interest, however it was great to go through 'other peoples' IT issues and see how they worked to resolve them.
The characters in the book are easy to identify with and the story keeps you listening.
Not sure it's a book for those from a non-IT background though.

Superb. The audiobook is the icing on the cake
As another reviewer said, this audiobook proves again what a difference an audio version can make to certain books. The book was good, the audio version, for me at least, takes it to another level.
Although there have since been more detailed accounts of the topics highlighted released, this remains an enjoyable and insightful listen/read.
Certainly a great, even mandatory, starting point for anyone and a tale that is still too evident in today's business and IT environments.

A great book well narrated
Great narrator that makes it an easy listen to with different character voices but not in a too silly way.
The book is a must-read for anyone interested in lean, agile, devops ways of working.

Great story, ok performance
Great story and believable characters and plot twists. Performance was ok but jumped into different recordings (different audio setup so the whole tone sounded different) quite often. Shame.
