À propos de cet audio
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.

Bill, an IT manager at Parts Unlimited, has been tasked with taking on a project critical to the future of the business, code named Phoenix Project. But the project is massively over budget and behind schedule. The CEO demands Bill must fix the mess in 90 days, or else Bill’s entire department will be outsourced. With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious philosophy of the Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in common with manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined.

Histoire
Innovation is the main event of the modern age, the reason we experience both dramatic improvements in our living standards and unsettling changes in our society. Forget short-term symptoms like Donald Trump and Brexit, it is innovation itself that explains them and that will itself shape the 21st century for good and ill. Yet innovation remains a mysterious process, poorly understood by policy makers and businessmen, hard to summon into existence to order, yet inevitable and inexorable when it does happen.

Histoire
Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

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.
Meh

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!
Patronizing!
