Pitfalls in Creating a Statement of Work If the work statement is too vague, too broad, or too generic, it can leave room for multiple interpretations. This can create misunderstandings later in a project.

Each project requires a unique SOW that outlines the specifics of that engagement. That said, almost all SOWs will include seven elements: the Scope of Work, deliverables, time and resources, payment terms, client services, changes, and terms and conditions.

Common elements of an SOW include: Project objectives. Project scope. Major deliverables. Tasks that support the deliverables, and which party will complete them. Timeline for completion of work. Location of work and resources, equipment, and facilities needed. Payment costs, terms, and deadlines.

The statement of work is an all-encompassing, detailed document outlining the goals, purpose, guidelines, deliverables, time requirements, costs, etc. The scope of work is one section within the SoW describing in detail the projected outcomes of the project and the specifics about the job done to hit those outcomes.

How to Write a Project Statement of Work (SOW) Create a brief introduction for your project. Define the purpose of your project. Define your project scope. Create a work breakdown structure to identify your project tasks, milestones and deliverables. Create a project schedule for your tasks, milestones and deliverables.

The Statement of Work or requirements description should clearly describe the work to be carried out, the objectives to be attained and the time frame. It should be: explicit about the client's requirements and the contractor's responsibilities so that questions of interpretation can be avoided.
