The Phoenix Project Graphic Novel: Volume 2
A Graphic Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win
The crisis at Parts Unlimited is far from over.
After implementing new processes to bring order to IT Operations, Bill Palmer thought he was making progress. But when an ill-fated Phoenix deployment spirals into disaster, taking down critical systems and potentially exposing customer data, everything hangs in the balance. With the company’s survival at stake, Bill must confront painful truths about technical debt, organizational dynamics, and the true meaning of DevOps transformation.
As pressure mounts from all sides—a furious CEO, an impatient board, and a rival executive who seems untouchable—Bill discovers that his real challenge isn’t just fixing technical problems. To save Parts Unlimited, he’ll need to master the elusive “Three Ways” and unite Development and Operations before it’s too late.
The clock is ticking. The board has given IT ninety days to turn things around—or face outsourcing. Can Bill and his team complete their transformation in time? And what will they learn about themselves along the way?
This stunning adaptation continues the beloved business novel’s exploration of IT management, DevOps, and digital transformation. Through vivid artwork and gripping drama, it brings to life essential lessons about flow, feedback, and continuous improvement that will resonate with anyone working to create change in their organization.
