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.

Pitfalls in Creating a Statement of Work While creating a SoW might sound reasonably simple, you'll need to watch out for some common pitfalls: 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.

Whether the SOW is written by the government or the contractor (or some combination of both), it is a key element of a contract. After the contract award, requirements in the SOW (and associated specifications) constitute the standard and discipline for the contractor's effort.

You always begin the statement of work with an introduction. This section introduces each key stakeholder in the project, i.e., the client, the agency, and third-party stakeholders, if any. The introduction is also where you briefly define the project and the work that needs to be completed.

There are three main types of statement of work: Functional SOW. Performance SOW. Design SOW.

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.

Who? Depending on the kind of the project - internal or external, different roles can be assigned to create a statement of work. If an internal project is planned, the paperwork is often handed to the project management office, project stakeholders, or user groups.
