The day to day ramblings of Jim Scardelis, Release Manager turned Program Manager in Microsoft.com.
The MSCOM Ops team just put a good description of Operations interacts with our software development life cycle (SDLC) process up on their blog. It's a good read. Included therein are a couple of versions of the documents that my team uses to track the project teams' progress through the SDLC as apps get developed. You might want to take a look, as I'll be expounding further on them later.

About Jim Scardelis
I'm a Program Manager on the Microsoft.com Content Delivery Infrastructure team - We're the group that is responsible for a lot of the software that the Microsoft.com Web site runs on.
Prior to moving to the PM team, I was a Release Manager for Microsoft.com (hence the title of this blog) for over six years. In my new position, my focus has changed from the relationship & processes between the development teams & operations towards those between the development teams & stakeholders. Oh, and I get to work on features sometimes too. :)
