In Option 1; what is the work that is being done in the Work Order? If it is simply authorization, then approval of the Change this is accounted for already in the CRQ with the Business/Technical approval phases up front, then the change is developed, and when ready for deployment it is scheduled and enters the Implementation approval phase for approval to deploy. Deployment can then either be handled under your Change process or via an enterprise release process.
Unless the Work Order is managing some external process/work effort everything you are describing sounds like one simple change; moving from request for change, through authorization, into planning/development, then scheduling/implementation approval , to deployed, then verification. My 2 cents. Thanks. Nate. Nathan Aker ITSM Solution Architect McAfee, Inc.

Option 1: 1. When user submits request for an enhancement, this should be the Service Request with the corresponding WorkOrders. 2. When work is done, then group should submit the Change request (CRQ) for the production migration. Option 2: 1. The other approach is that user have to submit the Change Request for the implementation the new functionalities. 2. When work is done, then the fulfillment group should submit the Change request (CRQ) for the production migration. Does anyone have an official ITIL recommendation what to use (work order or CRQ)? The third option is to submit the service request that creates the Change Request and then continue #2.
