Episode 9 — CABs, Approvals, Ownership, and Stakeholders (1.2)
This episode covers the people and approval structures that help manage change risk, including change advisory boards, change owners, technical approvers, business stakeholders, and affected teams. For the exam, students should understand that approvals are not just bureaucracy; they ensure the right people review downtime, security impact, dependencies, business timing, and recovery plans before a change reaches production. A change owner is accountable for the change, while stakeholders may include application teams, security staff, network engineers, service owners, compliance teams, and users affected by the change. Strong ownership and review reduce the chance of preventable outages, exposure, or undocumented configuration drift.
