Review of 'The phoenix project' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I find it very compelling, really.
Yes, the style and the entire narrative are somewhat absurd and reads like a bad 3-dollar novel you buy at the gas station (the ghost writers did some lousy jobs at times, NO ONE talks like that).
But if you swallow it a couple of times, you won't get mad every time someone uses the agile manifesto's language as a common office language... well, you will be onto something.

It is my second time reading this, after I've got into the PO/PM world some things are still a mystery to me. As the projects I was involved in were of average sizes, I've never dealt with the whole spectrum which defines Product Management as a discipline.

Still, 2-3 jobs later some parts become crystal clear.

p.s.
for a moment I hated the main protagonist - he was moaning like a retard about him losing a job, yada yada.
this modern day slavery hooked up with loans, mortgages and small-time villages one calls cities - people force themselves into slavery by living above their means.
Damn I need the 'fuck you money' in my life too.
