The Phoenix Project is a DevOps business simulation by GamingWorks.

Parts Unlimited are in trouble. Newspaper reports reveal the poor financial performance of the organization. The only way to save the company and to make it competitive and profitable is "The Phoenix Project" which is an IT enabled business transformation, with Retail Operations as the business owner of this project.

The VP of IT Operations is asked to lead the IT Department and make sure "The Phoenix Project" is successful. However, he is facing a tremendous amount of work. Huge backlogs of issues, features and projects.

Your team will take different roles within Parts Unlimited. You can be Retail Operations, Human Resources or the CFO and run your projects. You can play the role of the VP of IT Operations, or lead one of the IT functions. You will be suggesting improvements, addressing issues, developing applications, managing operations or other members from his IT Team that needs to develop the applications and solve the IT Issues.

Your challenge is to use the DevOps principles and apply them in this serious Business Simulation. In four rounds you will work on the IT Projects and IT Issues and make sure "The Phoenix Project" is finished on time. But, beware, the business keeps coming up with new ideas and demands, and external developments outside your control can also throw a spanner in the works.
