In change management, CAB stands for Change Advisory Board. It is a group of people who provide support to change management teams by advising on requested changes, assisting in the assessment and prioritization of changes, and reviewing, evaluating, approving or rejecting components of a change-management strategy. The CAB is generally made up of IT and business representatives, including a change manager, user managers and groups, technical experts, and possible third parties and customers (if required) . The CAB members should be selectively chosen to ensure that the requested changes are thoroughly checked and assessed from both a technical and business perspective. The CAB plays a critical role in ensuring changes are implemented smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the business. The 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.
