Statement of Work (SOW)

A written narrative that specifies the products, services, or outcomes the project is expected to deliver.

Key Points

  • Describes what will be produced by the project and what is out of scope.
  • Provides a foundation for the project charter, WBS, and procurement documents.
  • Often includes deliverables, acceptance criteria, key milestones, constraints, and assumptions.
  • Can be used internally to initiate work or externally as part of a contract or RFP.

Example

A company plans to implement a new CRM. The SOW states that the project will configure the CRM, migrate existing customer data, integrate with the billing system, train 200 users, and deliver go-live support. It lists acceptance criteria, major milestones, and assumptions about data quality and user availability.
