Bill is an IT manager at Parts Unlimited. It's Tuesday morning and on his drive into the office, Bill gets a call from the CEO.

The company's new IT initiative, code named Phoenix Project, is critical to the future of Parts Unlimited, but the project is massively over budget and very late. The CEO wants Bill to report directly to him and fix the mess in ninety 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. Readers will not only learn how to improve their own IT organizations, they'll never view IT the same way again.

读后感

《凤凰项目》一书中，作为导师出现的埃瑞克向作者提出了“三步工作法”，他说：“年轻人，一旦明白了这些，你就能踏上理解‘三步工作法’的征途了。第一工作法帮助我们理解在工作从开发部移向IT运维部时该如何创建快速工作流，因为那就是业务部门与客户之间的衔接。第二工作法...  

如果说一本书在被一套骨架支撑，然后肌肉包裹着骨架，最外面还有一层衣服包裹着肌肉，那这本书对我来说，更像是一个冬天装着羽绒服的大胖子。我从来都不喜欢看小说，根本耐不下心，所以觉得整书非常啰嗦，我想这本书也拉高了我阅读速度的平均水平，这本书的阅读速度是我最快的...  

作为一个程序员，DevOps这个词并不陌生。2011年底我就看了《持续交付》，当时给我的震动很大。在AppAnnie我看到了持续交付是如何变为现实的，我觉得这是个非常棒的过程。 这本书的价值绝对不是在主角们做到了一天部署十次，而是在这之前的n章之中他们的痛苦和煎熬。一个烂摊子...

用户评价

看了三分之一左右，感觉就在不停说公司运营有多乱。说了老半天都没回到正题上，对于我这种没啥耐心的人真是看不下去了 后来补看了，最后作者原来是辞职不干了，也只能呵呵了

我完全不知道为什么得分这么高。

一本IT纪实小说，讲述PU公司通过IT项目与公司业务结合继而将公司起死回生的故事。John带领IT团队在高人Eick的指点下，加强Dev与IT Ops及business之间的协同工作，·中间不乏人事政治斗争，甚有意思。

不可思议这书只有8分。即使之前在亚麻的时候已经把书中所有的的自动化的实践都经历过了，还是觉得这书里面的有很多令人思考的学习的地方。其实这本书不止是在讲DevOps，正如Stripe的做Infra的总监前两天在一个podcast上说的，这书给他最大的感悟是，从business的角度来讲，你做任何事情首先考虑business上的outcome，确保project deliverable才是最关键的。很多时候我们做起事来就完全忽略了整个大的picture, 而把所有整个流程中的点都连成线，确保它一定能顺利的从头到尾，才是我们要一直放在心上的。
