why do i need a statement of work?
having a statement of work in place allows you to manage expectations and to have a written (and agreed upon) record of a project. creating a statement of work will ensure that both parties understand what was agreed upon and their obligations in relation to the project.
a statement of work is an ancillary document to other commercial documents (such as a services agreement or terms and conditions for the supply of services). the document that’s supported by the sow is known as a ‘governing agreement’. while a governing agreement sets out provisions relating to the entire commercial relationship, the statement of work usually deals with the specifics of a single project.
-
what are project deliverables?
project deliverables are goods produced or services supplied as a result of the project. project deliverables vary from project to project.
-
what are project dependencies?
project dependencies are things that the service provider needs or expects the client to provide in order for the successful completion of the project deliverables. for example, the client may need to ensure that relevant stakeholders are available to participate in creative and technical reviews.
-
how can a sow be ended?
this sow can be terminated by either party, by their giving written notice to the other party.
