A 

statement of work (SoW) is a document routinely employed in the field of project management. It


defines project-specific activities, deliverables and timelines for a vendor providing services to the
client. The SOW typically also includes detailed requirements and pricing, with standard regulatory
and governance terms and conditions. It is often an important accompaniment to a master service
agreement or request for proposal (RFP).

A statement of work typically addresses these subjects.[2][3][4]

 Purpose: Why are we doing this project? A purpose statement attempts to answer this.
 Scope of Work: This describes the work to be done and specifies the hardware and
software involved.
 Location of Work: This describes where the work is to be performed, including the location
of hardware and software and where people will meet to do the work.
 Period of Performance: This specifies the allowable time for projects, such as start and
finish time, number of hours that can be billed per week or month, where work is to be
performed and anything else that relates to scheduling.
 Deliverables Schedule: This part lists and describes what is due and when.
 Applicable Standards: This describes any industry specific standards that need to be
adhered to in fulfilling the contract.
 Acceptance Criteria: This specifies how the buyer or receiver of goods will determine if the
product or service is acceptable, usually with objective criteria. See Acceptance testing.
 Special Requirements: This specifies any special hardware or software, specialized
workforce requirements, such as degrees or certifications for personnel, travel requirements,
and anything else not covered in the contract specifics.
 Type of Contract/Payment Schedule: The project acceptance will depend on if the budget
available will be enough to cover the work required. Therefore, a breakdown of payments by
whether they are up-front or phased will usually be negotiated in an early stage.
 Miscellaneous: Many items that are not part of the main negotiations may be listed because
they are important to the project, and overlooking or forgetting them could pose problems for the
project.
