Rated The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win 10/10

Calling this a DevOps book is an understatement. The key to the company's success in the book wasn't automation or continuous delivery. What made the success transferable from the manufacturing plant floor to knowledge work was subordinating success criteria to top business measurements and rigorous application of the Theory of Constraints to achieve it. Of course, automation and continuous delivery are necessary intermediate steps for most traditional IT organizations on that journey.<br/><br/>The whole military theme was quite annoying throughout the book though.
