The reason for the popularity of the book is that the concepts within can help any organization leverage IT to accelerate their pace by orders of magnitude while maintaining quality. However, despite being known in their fields, they have never been tied together so neatly. These are proven, decades-old concepts that have changed the course of manufacturing, leadership, safety culture, security, IT operations, and software engineering. The novelty isn’t in the originality of these ideas. It’s also a fun way of learning about business process improvement and cultural transformation in IT. It’s brilliant at doing so, weaving together concepts from disparate fields into a cohesive system. The Phoenix Project should be taken as an engaging way to explore how seismic shifts in technology and the convergence of several fields of study can be leveraged by IT to help businesses thrive.

It’s written in a novel-format, which makes it a much more engaging and enjoyable read than most professional books. The Phoenix Project was written by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford, three of the thought leaders of the DevOps movement that’s gained so much popularity in the past few years.
