It needs to be noted that Change Evaluation redirects to Change Mangement and these are 2 different ITIL topics. Related, but different -- not the same. Also, with regard to "de-ITIL'izing" Change Management and that ITIL didn't invent it, while these are good points, ITIL is it's own philosophy. It is also recognized by international copyrights. Hobson-Johnson'ing it with similar topics just gums it up.
Change Evaluation (back to the topic) should be on its own page.
Definition -- change evaluation (ITIL Service Transition) The process responsible for formal assessment of a new or changed IT service to ensure that risks have been managed and to help determine whether to authorize the change.

How about some nice flowcharts to illustrate the processes? That would be really helpful.
I think that the title of this article should be changed to something like Change Management (IT Service Management). ITIL did not invent Change Management.Charles T. Betz 01:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Merges
I am taking the merge recommendations the other direction, stripping down the ITIL article section to a pointer to this. This article needs further work, but I want to get people's reaction to the overall direction. The primary need is to continue to "de-ITILize" Change Management, which has various representations - e.g. IBM Yellow Books, Harris Kern Library, and I suspect numerous other variants. My goal is to fairly represent the ITIL take on Change as one perspective among many, and one that has some particular problems, [http://erp4it.typepad.com/erp4it/2006/05/whats_a_change_.html scope creep] in particular.Charles T.

DSL & CMDB:
Can anyone throw some light on relation/distinction between DSL (Definitive Source/Software Libraby) and CMDB (Configuration/Change Management DataBase)?
