The Phoenix Project: A Graphic Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win
The transformation of Parts Unlimited has only just begun.
After stabilizing the disastrous Phoenix Project launch, Bill Palmer and his IT team face an even greater challenge: proving that technology isn't just a cost center but the key to the company's survival. With market share plummeting and competitors pulling ahead, Bill must navigate treacherous corporate politics while racing to master “The Three Ways”—revolutionary principles that could change everything.
When the board threatens to split the company, Bill's team embarks on an audacious experiment called “Project Unicorn.” Their mission: deliver ten deployments a day instead of one per quarter. It's a goal so ambitious that even Erik, Bill's enigmatic mentor, admits it sounds impossible. But as they break down silos between Development and Operations, something remarkable happens—they begin achieving what the business truly needs rather than what it thinks it wants.
Alongside Patty, Wes, and the brilliant but overworked Brent, Bill must confront an ambitious marketing executive willing to bypass IT entirely while convincing the CFO that technology is the solution, not the problem. The stakes? Not just Bill's career, but the future of Parts Unlimited itself.
This visually stunning adaptation brings to life the final chapter in the beloved business novel, illustrating how the principles of DevOps can transform not just IT departments but entire organizations. Through dramatic artwork and compelling storytelling, readers will discover how flow, feedback, and continuous learning can break constraints and unleash unprecedented business value.
In a world where technology defines market winners and losers, The Phoenix Project reveals the new path forward.
