Review: The Phoenix Project

In a previous posting, I mentioned a new book out, The Phoenix Project.  Surprisingly, this is a novel that is "about IT, DevOps, and Helping your Business Win."  I had heard about it from a couple of IT Security colleagues, and had to check it out.

As I noted in my previous posting, the idea of process improvement in IT is one I've had an interest in over the years.  Up till now, nothing I had seen used had really done the job well.  This book is intended as an introduction to a new way of thinking about IT, called DevOps (a combination of Development and Operations, two groups in IT that are often at odds).
