What are the roles of a Software Delivery Manager
- by Rich
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?
