The Bottom Line

As noted, the Statement Of Work is a detailed overview of the project scope. It’s also a way to share the project requirements, acceptance criteria, payment terms, allocated resources, finances and other requisites with those who are working on the project, whether they are collaborating or are contracted to work on the project.

With detail and clarity, the SOW helps keep everyone that’s involved in the project on the same page and works to leave confusion to a minimum.
