An interesting take on what to think about when trying to implement DevOps in an organization. Contains some worthwhile nuggets, but are too shallow to deep dive into the subject.

Pure adherents will probably find it too business-oriented and non-fanatics will find it too preachy. But in overall, a book that is worth reading for anyone that contemplates utilizing DevOps in their organization.
