The last thing I need is a "XYZ" team
In this post my attempted point was that if you can make a checklist for a build or release procedure chances are you can script it. The comments got a bit side-tracked, though.
I don't have a problem with the "release management function"; my current team includes a couple of great (if overworked) release management people. My problem is with specialist teams (DBA, release, architects, business analysis, test).
Throwing stuff over the wall to specialist teams nearly always seems to take more time and effort (costs more money) than just doing it yourself; this is for a variety of reasons (differently aligned priorities, administrative / communication overhead).
Sorry Rob, I don't think it would even help if they were to wear unitards.
