In 2013 the Phoenix Project by Gene Kim, Kevin Bahr and George Spafford sparked the next phase of DevOps transformations. 6 years later Gene Kim (@RealGeneKim) is back with The Unicorn Project, A Novel about Developers, Digital Disruption, and Thriving in the Age of Data.

Developer Productivity is a key focus point of the story in the book and is what Gene has learned from different companies in the last years about. Good engineering companies put their best resources in developer productivity as it benefits every developer and allows them to use their best energy to provide business value instead of solving puzzles. Gene lets us in on his day at Etsy as well as the story from Nokia and the reason they moved away from Symbian – both stories that touch on developer productivity!
