Add Activities to Service Request
My idea is to build a Service Request template titled "IT Project", create an SR as a high level "Project", and have them utilize Manual Activities for all of the individual tasks associated with the project. So, for example:
Service Request (Project): ITSM
Manual Activity (Task): Server builds
Manual Activity (Task): Process flow diagramming
Manual Activity (Task): Asset management
However, I am not seeing the option to add an Activity within the Portal, either on creation of the Service Request or once it has been created. Within the Service Manager Console I can add an Activity at any time. So, for now, I would inform management that this solution will only work within the Service Manager Console, but I hope to see the ability to add an Activity within the Portal.
Also, I welcome any other ideas that anyone has to allow management to track their projects and their tasks within a project (without using Microsoft Project).

@Ryan_Murphy we also have this open as a feature request on the below thread to have activities avaiable out of the box if you want to give it an upvote:

Also Seth Coussens covers an example of using dynamic service request forms for handling project requests, checkout the below:

Hope this helps!
