Thanks for ur comment though.

I certainly know the job but I have just put the question differently.

I am interested in knowing his involvement in the life cycle on a live project.

I have also put this question on the forum if you try u might get.

I believe it is a forum and any question can have different perpectives.

Secondly, this forum is also one of the ways a consultant can get the answers
