Hi, I’m a technical program manager at NS1 (a dns and traffic management startup). Sparkly DevOps princess 👑 on the side. Love learning and reading all things tech in my spare time, but this is my first book group!

Hi! I'm an engineering leader at a retailer here in the US named Aaron's. We have been on the DevOps journey for years since having Gene Kim speak to us on The Phoenix Project in 2014. We have several teams here deploying software to production environments from 4-10 times a day on average. Excited to join the book club and learn more!

@keith.klundt in your AMA question you mention: >"Our definition of a value stream is a part of the system that aligns with a part of the customer journey, e.g., web engagement, cart & checkout, and then feature sets in the app (think Spotify, because we deliver entertainment content)." Would you mind expanding on what you mean there and how yal came to that definition? It seems a little a different to the concept of value streams that I've formed in my head after reading Karen Martin and Mike Osterling's "Value Stream Mapping" and a couple other books that discuss them. I'm very new to the concept and interested in learning how others view it.

Hi. I my name is JT. I lead a team managing an IT Transformation for an airline. I’m excited about the book as this specifically speaks to one of the efforts we are pushing now. I have used the DevOps topologies in the past and I can’t wait to utilize what is in this book. I am looking forward to talk about the book with all of you.

Good afternoon! Excited for the book study. Already reading and listening on Audible. Just introducing myself per the recommendations. I'm the Director of Information & Instructional Technology at a school district in California, USA. Topics like team formation, flow, general Phoenix Project/Goldratt/etc. discussions are not that common in my industry so I'm enjoying trying to grow the community. Hoping to start a Phoenix Project book study among my peers in the state so I'm going to really be taking notes on how this is ran as a global yet united book study.

Hi. Looking forward to this. I'm an Information Systems Manager at Denver Health Medical Plan. I too am listening & reading trying to consume the information in the book. I think organizational structure is ripe for change and I'm hoping this book will give me the information I need to start the change in my company.

I’d like to learn about the team sizes between all the members here. We, a Canadian government department, have a number of small teams for different projects that end up feeling an awful lot like teams of three or four. Certainly teams work together in some regard but when one person leaves, it creates a huge gap. How long do your successful team make-ups typically last ?
