Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Statement of Work (SOW)?

A Statement of Work (SOW) is a formal document that defines the scope, objectives, deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities for a project or service agreement between a client and a vendor or contractor.

Why is a Statement of Work important?

An SOW ensures clear expectations, prevents misunderstandings, and establishes accountability by outlining project details, deliverables, deadlines, and payment terms.

What should be included in a Statement of Work?

A comprehensive SOW should include:

  • Project objectives
  • Scope of work
  • Deliverables
  • Timelines and milestones
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Payment terms
  • Performance criteria
  • Terms and conditions
How does an SOW differ from a contract?

An SOW is a detailed project-specific document that defines the work to be performed, while a contract is a legally binding agreement that governs the overall relationship between the parties, including legal terms and conditions.

Who is responsible for creating the SOW?

Typically, the client creates the SOW with input from the vendor or contractor to ensure alignment on project scope, expectations, and responsibilities.

What are the risks of not having an SOW?

Without an SOW, projects may suffer from scope creep, misaligned expectations, lack of accountability, and disputes over deliverables, timelines, or payments.

How does an SOW help manage project costs?

An SOW outlines cost estimates, payment terms, and budget constraints, helping both parties manage expenses and avoid unexpected financial overruns.

 

What industries commonly use Statements of Work?

SOWs are widely used in industries such as IT, consulting, construction, marketing, staffing, and government contracting, where projects require clear deliverables and structured execution.
