The Phoenix Project

Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, George Spafford

Told as a gripping story rather than a technical manual, this book teaches the core principles behind the DevOps movement through one manager's crisis-driven crash course in fixing a broken IT organization.

A business novel following Bill Palmer, unexpectedly promoted to VP of IT Operations at a company whose most critical project is failing, as he learns the principles of DevOps — flow, feedback, and continuous learning — from a mysterious mentor.
