From remediation tasks (RTs), create change requests, associate RTs to existing change
requests, or split remediation tasks into new tasks with subsets of vulnerable items
(VI).

Create and manage change requests directly from a remediation task if a manual and controlled
process of any kind is required for modification or removal of supported configuration items
(CIs) in your CMDB. Creating and managing change requests directly from a record helps you
investigate and resolve vulnerabilities quickly.

See [Change management for Vulnerability Response](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rJLLQMfetmDSSTGbuH_CNw "As an IT remediation owner, you can create and manage change requests (CHG) directly from remediation tasks (RT) in the Vulnerability Response application. Change requests help you initiate and track change activities on your assets so that you can remediate your remediation tasks and their corresponding vulnerable items.") for an overview of how
change management works with the Vulnerability Response application and the system
requirements.

Refer to the following topics for how to create change requests, associate remediation tasks to
existing change requests, and split remediation tasks. See [State synchronization between change requests and remediation tasks](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Cr79Ca3WRQu~t3SZ0tj0zg "There is a synchronized relationship between the State fields of remediation tasks (VULs) and the State fields of change requests (CHG) in the Vulnerability Response product. As a change request moves through its life cycle, it also moves the state of any related remediation tasks automatically.") for information about
how state fields on change requests (CHG) automatically resolve remediation tasks.
