"Statement of Work Checklist"

This statement of work checklist describes how to create your project statement of work (SOW) document and ensure that you provide sufficient detail to gain the agreement of all the necessary parties to the scope of work your project requires.

As a project manager you will have to produce a Statement of Work, commonly referred to as SOW document. You will conduct this activity during the planning stage of your project.

In this document you have to supply enough detail on the scope of each work package in your project that you are able to gain agreement from all interested parties. Your SOW will be used by internal work groups as well as external agencies approached to provide resources to understand the exact requirements of their work package.

Your statement of work cannot become a formal project document until your project stakeholders and sponsors have formally signed it off. Once this has occurred it then you are able to send it to any third parties outside of the project team to purchase the required resources.

The typical contents of a Statement of Work (SOW) are a detailed description of the work requirements for the specified work packages. This will include facts such as the number of days or weeks each work package requires to be completed and what its deliverables are along with its acceptance criteria.
