Change Advisory Board (CAB)

Change advisory Board (CAB) workflow is used for approval of fixes and creation of a functional/technical conceptional design document.

This project will be phased out as Bugfix issues can be created in the software delivery projects directly via the SD Workflow.
Changes, improvements should be requested via creation of a Project  by a YME Portfolio Board Manager via the Yamaha Applications Support Desk (SD).

CAB Issue types

One of the two following conditions must be met to create a CAB issue.

1. Bug: Bugfix to deliver a functional/technical solution for the original SD issue. SD issue remains open until the fix has been applied.
2. Story: Non-bugfix for internal improvement, prevent (recurring) issues for the future. SD issue can be closed, user will be informed that current issue is fixed but there will still be worked on in the background to prevent from happening again or improvements.

Under the SD issue the reporter and requested participants can be informed about the change applied/ to be applied but is also used to collect information from the requester.
