Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

Service commitments define the expected level of a service. A service offering derives from a service, tailoring the parent service to a specific business need. A service offering consists of a set of service commitments which uniquely define the service offerings.

To create service commitments, each service needs at least one associated service offering.
