I've heard of agile development and extreme programming, but man that's a lot of rollouts!! Even once a week seems like a lot to me, depending on the project and scope of changes.

How can your write, test, and document changes in 2-3 days? I bow to your superiour coding skills :)

I've got two releases next week, different projects with different people on them. The first project was set to go Tuesday at 10pm (our maintenance window is from 10pm-2am). The second project wanted Wednesday at 10pm. I asked nicely to the second project to move it to Thursday so that I wouldn't have to work two nights in a row plus my regular day job. They agreed! I couldn't believe it.

It's a matter of priorities.
the customers do the testing, the documentation is in the code, and we are busy doing all the other stuff.

It's just a lot of fires...

and man, I HATE OS/390 DB2 7.2

Plus I have to deal with a bloated Corp Serv area that "performs" production support

The paperwork alone will kill you for a release
