Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the server room where changes brew
Every tweak could break or make things new
Standard, normal, emergency too
Three categories guide us through
The helpdesk calls, the users wait
While systems hang in fragile state

[Chorus]
CAB decides, assess and guide
Change Advisory Board won't hide
Plan and test, approve the quest
Risk and impact, do your best
CAB decides, assess and guide
Every change needs qualified eyes

[Verse 2]
Standard changes pre-approved and clean
Low-risk tasks we've always seen
Password resets, patches small
No committee needs to call
But normal changes need the crew
Seven experts talking through

[Chorus]
CAB decides, assess and guide
Change Advisory Board won't hide
Plan and test, approve the quest
Risk and impact, do your best
CAB decides, assess and guide
Every change needs qualified eyes

[Bridge]
Emergency breaks the rules tonight
When the database won't ignite
Skip the meeting, fix it fast
Document everything that passed
Back-out plans and rollback schemes
Protect those mission-critical dreams

[Verse 3]
RFC begins the paper trail
Request for Change tells every tale
Who and what and when and why
Implementation timeline fly
Post-review completes the dance
Learning from each circumstance

[Chorus]
CAB decides, assess and guide
Change Advisory Board won't hide
Plan and test, approve the quest
Risk and impact, do your best
CAB decides, assess and guide
Every change needs qualified eyes

[Outro]
Three types, one board, approval flow
Change management helps systems grow
