Investments Unlimited: A Limited Series Podcast

By: IT Revolution
  • Summary

  • This limited-series podcast brought to you by IT Revolution is based on the book Investments Unlimited: A Novel about DevOps, Security, Audit Compliance, and Thriving in the Digital Age. In this exciting tale, CEO Susan Jones receives shocking news that her company is facing severe regulatory scrutiny over inadequate IT governance. She urgently rallies her executive team to explain how this crisis was allowed to unfold. As rising star engineer Michelle digs deeper into their sprawling legacy systems, a messy web of misalignment emerges between Development, Security, Audit, and Compliance. Together with product owner Bill, Michelle attempts to craft an innovative “shift left” solution that bakes governance controls directly into the software delivery pipeline. But skepticism persists across IUI’s stale, siloed culture. Through trials and tech catastrophes, Michelle’s scrappy squad must demonstrate enough progress to pass the next external audit, set against an unforgiving 90-day deadline. This against-the-odds struggle to bring accountability and transparency to their IT operations through “Turbo Eureka” soon becomes a fight to save Michelle’s own career and the future of the company itself. Can her automated governance vision take flight in time? Or will old habits and new obstacles fatally undermine morale when modernization hangs in the balance? Investments Unlimited was written by Helen Beal, Bill Bensing, Jason Cox, Michael Edenzon, Tapabrata Pal, Caleb Queern, John Rzeszotarski, Andres Vega, and John Willis. It was published by IT Revolution. The book is narrated by Rachel Fulginiti and the podcast host is Bill Bensing.
