I have been told about a position that may be open to me - the role of a Software Delivery Manager. From what I understand this role does not already exist within my organisation.

To be perfectly honest I'm not quite sure what a Software Delivery Manager's roles are. I have a few ideas and would appreciate some input around whether they are correct or not, or if there is anything missing:

• ensure the quality of the software being delivered
• document the relationships between the components being delivered
• ensure that the delivery of these components does not break other components
• ensure that the components being developed make the best use of the environments they are being deployed in
• being on-hand during software deliveries (though not actually performing the delivery of software, rather giving the Go)

I have also been told that the role would include some software development work (which is important to me being a developer at heart!) - is there software development specifically associated with the role of Software Delivery Manager or is this more likely to just be a case of helping the team out when time is short?
