What is the scope of a project?

The scope of a project defines what work will be done, including the goals, deliverables, and tasks needed to complete the project.

Scope creep happens when changes or extra work are added to a project after it has started, without proper approval, which can cause delays or budget issues.

What is a Project Scope Statement?

A Project Scope Statement is a document that clearly explains what the project includes and excludes, outlines deliverables, constraints, and helps keep the project on track.

How to write a Statement of Work (SOW)?

Writing a SOW involves clearly defining the project scope, deliverables, timelines, milestones, roles and responsibilities, payment terms, and acceptance criteria. It should be detailed, specific, and agreed upon by all stakeholders to prevent misunderstandings.

What is the purpose of a SOW?

The purpose of a SOW is to formally document the work to be performed, set expectations, define responsibilities, and establish the terms under which the project will be executed and evaluated.

What is the difference between a SOW and a contract?

A SOW is a detailed description of project work and deliverables, often part of a contract. A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties that may include the SOW, terms and conditions, liabilities, and legal obligations.

What is the difference between SLA and SOW?

An SLA (Service Level Agreement) defines the performance standards and quality metrics for services provided. A SOW defines the scope, tasks, deliverables, and timeline of the work. The SLA focuses on how services are delivered, while the SOW focuses on what work is done.
