Workflows for Change Requests

Hi all,

I have been tasked to create a Change Request process and workflow for our company. I don't need anything complex, in-fact, I need the opposite.

I have tried creating my own workflow, to the best of my knowledge, but it doesn't seem to be as simple as is needed.

Does anyone here have any workflows that they can share with me, or maybe point me in the right direction? I will attach the current workflow here, and any feedback would be appreciated.

Ideally, this is how I would like the workflow to work:

Requester submits request and then the requester submits the Planning (in one stage, as opposed to 2 stages) > Goes to CAB for approval > CAB approves/rejects > Implementation > End

At present, I kind-of have it setup like this, but what I would really like to do is have the first bit of notification occur at the CAB stage. That way, all the Change details are already view-able, and we just need the approval for the go-ahead. I don't like the way that the status needs to be updated in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and would like it to go: Submission (with change details) > CAB > etc
