The growth of a forming star takes place by accretion from the surrounding dense medium, facilitated by a circumstellar disk. But at the same time the forming system produces collimated outflows of gas that remove excess angular momentum and magnetic flux. A key question in the field is whether we can extend the disk/jet model to stars of the largest masses or if other ingredients are present. In this note, I review recent observations from the Very Large Array and the Submillimeter Array, of IRAS 16547-4247, a massive young stellar object that exhibits evidence for both a disk and an outflow.
