10/ Widespread readership of The Phoenix Project has been growing steadily, much like the interest in DevOps itself (maybe not THAT rapidly—whoa).

7/ Fanfiction has sprouted up, including this org chart for Parts Unlimited. cc: @MattThatITGuy twitter.com/MattThatITGuy/…

5/ “Parts Unlimited” has become the ultimate fictitious company used across the industry. twitter.com/DijkmanRogier/… Even @Microsoft trains employees using case studies based on it: microsoft.github.io/PartsUnlimited/

4/ The Phoenix Project has been translated into 11 other languages: Japanese (@NikkeiBP_books) Russian German (@oreillyverlag) Simplified Chinese Complex Chinese Portuguese Vietnamese Greek (@PsichogiosBooks) Korean Polish (@helionpl) Turkish (@timaspublishing)

Always bear in mind that as arrogance increases, learning decreases.

We are better at forgetting than we are at learning.- Richard Cook #DOES17

I want to clarify something about Bimodal IT. We originally talked about fast or slow but realized it was really about degrees of certainty. Mode one is for situations where there is certainty and mode 2 has uncertainty. Both matter and need to improve #does2017
