STATEMENT OF WORK TEMPLATE
The Statement of Work (SOW) is a document which describes the scope of work required to complete a specific project. It must be agreed upon by all parties involved. In order to be effective, the SOW must contain an appropriate level of detail so all parties clearly understand what work is required, the duration of the work involved, what the deliverables are, and what is acceptable.
Introduction/Background
This section should provide a general description of the project as well as highlight the project’s background and what is to be gained by the project. The SOW introduction and background are useful to familiarize the other organization/client with the project.
Scope of Work
This section should provide a brief statement of what you expect to accomplish as a result of this scope of work. While specific deliverables and tasks will be presented in the Work Requirements section, this section should highlight what is and is not included in the scope of the project in broader terms.
