The principles for justifying a new CAB can be applied to keep your existing CAB going.

How can we encourage them to invite other departments to participate? Answer: While it’s a good sign your product team wants to initiate a CAB, it’s a red flag that they don’t want to involve other departments.That’s a sure sign their board will be focused exclusively on your existing products (and not necessarily forward looking), involve only product users as members, and discuss low-value, tactical product feature desires. I would suggest arranging a meeting with them and your executive management to discuss the benefits a CAB can deliver to all your departments (including sales and marketing), and the high value, strategic impact it can deliver to your company.
