Description

The Phoenix Project wowed over a half-million readers. Now comes The Unicorn Project! 

“The Unicorn Project is amazing, and I loved it 100 times more than The Phoenix Project…” (Fernando Cornago, senior director platform engineering, Adidas)

“Gene Kim does a masterful job of showing how … the efforts of many create lasting business advantages for all.” (Dr. Steven Spear, author of The High-Velocity Edge, sr. lecturer at MIT, and principal of HVE LLC)

“The Unicorn Project is so clever, so good, so crazy enlightening!” (Cornelia Davis, vice president of technology at Pivotal Software, Inc., author of Cloud Native Patterns)

This highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling title The Phoenix Project takes another look at Parts Unlimited, this time from the perspective of software development. 

In The Unicorn Project, we follow Maxine, a senior lead developer and architect, as she is exiled to the Phoenix Project, to the horror of her friends and colleagues, as punishment for contributing to a payroll outage. She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy and to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, and approvals. 

One day, she is approached by a ragtag bunch of misfits who say they want to overthrow the existing order, to liberate developers, to bring joy back to technology work, and to enable the business to win in a time of digital disruption. To her surprise, she finds herself drawn ever further into this movement, eventually becoming one of the leaders of the Rebellion, which puts her in the crosshairs of some familiar and very dangerous enemies. 

The Age of Software is here, and another mass extinction event looms - this is a story about rebel developers and business leaders working together, racing against time to innovate, survive, and thrive in a time of unprecedented uncertainty...and opportunity.

Patronizing!

There was an old SNL sketch on Al-Gore where he says "People say they don't like me because I sound patronizing", he takes a deep breath then adds "Patronizing means I talk to them like they are stupid"!.

I just found that sketch playing in my head over and over as I was listening to this book, or to be precise, the first 20 minutes of it, it is too late to return it, and I for sure will not bother finishing it.

if you have been living in a cave for 10 years and you just got out? this is 'maybe' a 'tolerable' thing to go through, but anything short of this, you will find this book an absolute waste of time, unless you like a book that explains to you the benefits of having electricity and fast-moving vehicles!

Outdated and repetitive

Was hoping this would be a more up to date version of the Phoenix Project but this was literally the same story just from another angle. The content here is too outdated for 2020 in my opinion. Most software companies I've seen are already well established in these practices and the challenge is actually much more nuanced. The story is also highly repetitive, with the same content repeated in way ways across chapters. Gave up around Chapter 11 because it just wasn't entertaining or helpful anymore.

A book for all technology professionals

An engaging novel, frighteningly relatable documentary and DevOps textbook all wrapped into one brilliantly curated classic that serves as a guiding star for all IT professionals. I love this book.

Meh

Frankie Corzo being a good narrative voice is probably the only reason I finished this. The Unicorn Project tries very hard to be The Phoenix Project, and it just can't hold a candle to it.

tldr; read/listen to The Phoenix Project instead and forget this one exists.

I genuinely don't understand what the core purpose of this book was. The Phoenix Project was a very good book, and had real learning moments. I was hoping that this book would be the same. Unfortunately, The Unicorn Project is a modern-day fiction that merely borrows the name and some characters of The Phoenix Project.

Throughout the book, the circlejerk of "oh no, <xyz problem> that is the end of all that exists!" that is then overcome through determination, skill, or whatever blackbox plot twist, over and over and over again for 5 hours straight is exhausting and, in my opinion, detrimental to anything that the book is trying to impart on the reader between the fluff. The problems that arise become irrelevant, and I became less and less interested in how or why they were overcome. The book uses incredibly technical jargon and niche name dropping of tech throughout, which is unnecessary. The cringe writing about typical "nerd" things, like Star Trek and Star Wars and comparisons to them is nearly unbearable. By the end of the book, I had no idea what the book was even about, I was just glad it was over and I could say I finished it. Had this book been condensed to a 3-4 hour listen, it would have been much more enjoyable.

Outstanding Storyline

I’ve never read a book about coding and found this story fascinating. It really held my interest throughout, especially the corporate back-biting and solutions to so many problems. I’m going to read The Phoenix Project as well but this story held its own without having read the prior story.

easily digested tech story

I zipped through listening to this book on a recent work trip and found myself cheering for the rebellion.

Excellent listen.

This book is an excellent listen. The content should be read by CEO through developers.
