If I was trying to pull it off in a larger company (or somewhere where the sysadmin skillset is already separate from the development one), I think I'd concentrate on the most important product and make a team of 3-4 devops folks to build and launch it. Repeat with a second team. I could see 1 devops person making a big difference in a team of 3 or 4 developers and sysadmins *if* they all worked really well together (as in, they hang out together outside of work and trust one another as personal friends). Otherwise I think that person wouldn't have enough impact to matter - we'd be back to an architect "providing direction" and a bunch of implementors. > It doesn't scale as easily as ITIL/COBIT. > Or at least, it depends on high hiring standards, strongly enforced. Throwing people at it will not work. Troy
