Change management - Team
CAB
(Change Advisory Board)
The group that reviews significant technology changes before they are allowed into live systems
What's it for?
Helps organisations check risky technology changes before they affect live services.
For example…
The weekend database upgrade is presented to CAB with a test sign-off and a rollback plan before the change window is approved
CAB challenges a database upgrade scheduled on payroll day and moves it to a safer window after reviewing the business impact
Think of it like…
Building control visit before you knock through a wall: someone independent checks the plan will not bring the house down
