Statement of Work (SOW)

No matter which industry you work in, there is one constant: projects and the documentation that comes with them. Whether you are running a Small business or work as a part of an international conglomerate, you’ll have a lot of projects on the go at any one time. After all, they are what make the business go round.

While projects can be fun and exciting, the documentation associated with them can be less than desirable. This is why, we often don’t give it the attention it deserves, to the detriment of the project. Perhaps the most important type of document is the Statement of Work (SOW).

A Statement of Work is also practically universal. It is frequently used in a variety of industries such as construction, tax firms, IT.

What’s included in a Statement of Work?

The best thing about SOW documents is that they are very flexible and can be simplified or incredibly extensive, based on the project and/or the business needs. It can be as simple as a list of tasks to do. On the other hand, it can go into further depth to outline the schedule of the project, the budget, constraints, milestones and a whole plethora of other business variables.

The Statement of Work (SOW) plans out every aspect of the project from start to finish. Aside from the basic sections such as introduction, the purpose of the project, or the scope and limitations - the SOW also includes the schedules for every part of the project, the people involved, and even the proposed budget for it. The SOW also helps companies make sure that their project gets finished within the outlined rules. Ascertaining that all obligations are met on both ends along with the criteria and expectations stated in the document.

For larger projects, a Statement of Work generally consists of:

1. Extent of Work - dictating the rules of the project, what the particular limitations are, and generally what the project is all about
2. Project Milestones - this section outlines the individual milestones as well as the acceptance criteria and project structure
3. General Schedule - the nomenclature of this section speaks for itself because you will need to set a concrete schedule or proposed timeline for the project and its milestones
4. Tasks - once the purpose, schedule, and structure of the project is set in stone, you will have to separate this into smaller and easier to accomplish tasks that fall under each milestone or major step towards completion
5. Deliverables - this is similar to the general schedule as it explains which things are due, who they would be delivered to and when the individual due dates are
6. Payment Schedule - this enumerates which tasks need to be paid, how much of the budget is allocated towards those tasks, and the schedule on which the payments would need to be made
