Hi, Jaan - I replied to what may be a similar question in one of the Problem Management topics posted by leebc (he/she asked about similar categories for Incident and Problem). what I said was: In our organization, yes they match, and these actually match the high-level categories of the CMDB.
We keep it fairly simple. Our current 5 categories are: Application, Network, Server, Environment (includes printers, peripherals and other misc stuff that we look after) and Documents/Procedures.
What is interesting is that an incident is almost NEVER in the document/procedure category, and that 30% of problems may require a change to a procedure to resolve a known error.
I think some consistency in naming helps.
Our ChangeMgmt is tied to the CMDB, so the same categories are used there, too.
