preach on brother.
those 5 steps are right on, and in my small company we do exactly this - i (QA - god help the poor soul who typed Q&A above) deliver all software and deployment instructions to IT.
we also have IT write out a deployment plan for any major release (containing all the environment specifics and QA instructions modified if need be) and we all (IT, QA, DEV) review the plan at least twice. that way we ALL own it since we all have input and we can spot instructions that were missed tween dev-QA-IT.
this seems to common sense to me, i'm having a hard time believing people would do it any other way...
