ITIL Request Fulfilment: Process Definition
Request Fulfilment was added as a new process to ITIL V3 with the aim to have a dedicated process dealing with Service Requests. This was motivated by a clear distinction in ITIL V3 between Incidents (Service Interruptions) and Service Requests (standard requests from users, e.g. password resets).
In ITIL V2, Service Requests were fulfilled by the Incident Management process.
