The Leads section is reserved for Marketing and the Opportunity section is reserved for Account Managers. 

Basically Leads and Opportunities are two separate parts of the Sales process which could be linked to each other. 

At the same time Opportunities and Leads could have absolutely independent workflow which consist from their own Stages, Groups, Procedures, Triggers, Templates, Dashboards, Sources, Companies, Contacts and Job orders.
​
Leads and Opportunities items could have relation with the multiple Job orders, but in the same time Job order could be linked only to one Lead and one Opportunity. Contacts with Leads and Opportunities could have many-to-many relation ship which provide configuration flexibility.
