I enjoyed reading through The Phoenix Project - for one thing, the first chapters made me feel better about the workload I had on my plate But the whole book itself was a great (fictional) case study on shifting from traditional Development & Operations departments to a DevOps environment. It's basically a story of a dysfunctional enterprise IT environment getting better, told from the perspective of someone uniwttingly tossed into the role of IT director. It helped me see the problems DevOps practices solve along with the challenges that can arise when shifting over to them.

Old thread, was thinking about posting about this book and found this!

I just signed up for Audible trial and started with this book. Just on chapter 5 but i am already liking it!

Audible is awesome. I've used them for a decade.

I have never been able to enjoy audio books.

I usually don't buy them because they heavily rely on the narrator. The incarnations of immortality narrator was pretty bad and I loved that series until I listened to it.

The guy who did Harry Potter was so bad I almost couldn't get through them.

I recently finished reading and recommend "The Anatomy of Peace" from The Arbinger Institute. It's a great comprehensive story driven practice in conflict resolution.

It's basically "How to recognize if you're an @$$hole, fix it, and learn to communicate with other @$$hole's effectively".
