A Service Order is the request of service from an End User in the case of a problem,
change or new requirement.
A project is generated from a Service Order, and is divided into a number of activities and
subactivities necessary to resolve this request.
In other words a Service Order can be considered as the "action" coming from the user,
and a project as the "reaction" from the IT, IS area.
Only the Service Order Responsible (Project Leader) can define the activities and
subactivities of a project, hence, only the Project Leader can define the start and
finish dates for each of the subactivities.
