CAB

A key part of managing changes in IT is to have a change advisory board (CAB). A CAB offers multiple perspectives necessary to ensure proper decision making.

A CAB is an integral part of a defined change management process designed to balance the need for change with the need to minimize inherent risks. For example, the CAB is responsible for oversight of all changes in the production environment. As such, it has requests coming in from management, customers, users and IT. Plus the changes may involve hardware, software, configuration settings, patches, etc.


A good change management process should include an advisory board to ensure proposed changes are examined by IT operations, security and business stakeholders.
