It's worth reading The Goal as The Phoenix Project is somewhat based on it. The Goal introduces the idea of Theory of Constraints in a similar novelized form, and The Phoenix Project takes ToC and applies it to information systems/software work. There's overlap between ToC and the Toyota Way (Toyota Production System, Lean, etc.) as all are based on taking a systems view of things, and place a great deal of emphasis on identifying problems with the process, not the people (that is, no individual blame).
