[Verse 1]
Sarah codes at midnight, deployment scheduled dawn
Production servers humming, but her changes need a spawn
No cowboy implementations, no shortcuts past the gate
Change Advisory Board reviews what can't afford to wait
[Chorus]
CAB approves the motion, classify and validate
Standard, normal, emergency - never deviate
Impact, risk, and testing, rollback plans in place
Change management controls keep systems in their space
[Verse 2]
Emergency patches panic-driven, systems crashing down
Document retrospectively, forty-eight hours to be found
Board reviews at next meeting, even crisis needs a trail
Separation duties sacred - when one role starts to fail
[Chorus]
CAB approves the motion, classify and validate
Standard, normal, emergency - never deviate
Impact, risk, and testing, rollback plans in place
Change management controls keep systems in their space
[Bridge]
Five business days minimum, request forms tell the tale
Development builds the castle, testing finds what might derail
Production stays protected from the hands that write the code
Three separate kingdoms guarding every system node
[Verse 3]
Post-implementation review, lessons learned and logged
What succeeded, what backfired, every process catalogued
Authorization documented, every signature in line
Formal processes guarantee your systems stay refined
[Final Chorus]
CAB approves the motion, classify and validate
Standard, normal, emergency - never deviate
Impact, risk, and testing, rollback plans in place
Change management controls keep systems in their space
[Outro]
When production calls for changes, never skip the sacred rite
Change controls protect the kingdom through the day and through the night
