We're currently switching our model. Current old way of doing it is to develop locally with Apache and CF to a MySQL or Oracle DB. Then push changes to QA for review. Developers use SVN to maintain code repositories for version/history. Once QA is passed, changes FTPed to production. No release schedule, it's a do it as you get approval.
Our new way eliminates the local development environment. We have one web server for dev, and DW (our chosen IDE) is set up to maintain a local copy for editing and to put files via SFTP. So you FTP changes when you're ready to look at them in development, but can also check-in to SVN from your local copy. QA and production are the same, but I'd love to implement releases (administrative nightmare tracking what bits of code just got approved!). Not ideal, and if DW could get SVN integration, so much the better, but it works for us, and eliminates the overhead of maintaining several versions of CF on developers' machines. Cheers!
