The CAB agenda
Every change waiting on a decision, grouped by planned start, for the meeting itself.
Change → CAB Agenda
The change board's running order: every change request waiting on an approval decision, grouped by the day its change is planned to start. It is built to be worked through in the meeting itself — each row can be decided here, without opening the ticket.
What appears here
- Change requests with a pending approval step, and only the step the board can act on now — the earliest one still waiting. A change held up at step 1 does not appear under step 2's approver.
- A change with no planned start date is deliberately absent: there is no day for it to sit under. It is still in Approvals, under everything pending.
- Only days with something on them are listed. This is a list of sittings, not a calendar grid.
Choosing the window
From and To are inclusive, and default to today plus the next thirteen days — the fortnight most boards plan over. Next fortnight puts them back. The count on the right says how much is in the window before you start reading it.
Reading a row
- The ticket key, its type, and the change type: Standard, Normal or Emergency.
- The risk band, read from the assessment the Risk register already holds rather than recalculated here, so this screen and the change itself never disagree. A change nobody has scored says so.
- A freeze badge when the change's planned window falls inside a change freeze, naming the window it clashes with.
- Who requested it, and which step of the chain the board is standing at.
Deciding in the meeting
The text box is the board minute: whatever you type is recorded with the decision, so the reason survives the meeting. Approve or Reject settles that step, the next step becomes actionable for whoever owns it, and the row dims in place rather than vanishing under your cursor mid-meeting.
Deciding needs the approval permission. Without it the agenda is still readable — useful for anyone sitting in on the meeting.
