 Introduction

The Scope of Work (or Statement of Work)

is a detailed agreement and plan of the

services or deliverables that you are going to
provide to a client.
Why is it important ?

● prevents work outside of your

original scope so the project stays
within its original budget and time
frame.
● A well-defined statement of work
template will eliminate doubts so
both you and your client are on the
same page.

broken down into smaller timetables.

The scope of work document should allow
project managers the opportunity to rest knowing
that the whole project has been thought out and
planned for. This document also provides project
managers the opportunity to have a detailed
conversation with clients, so there are no
surprises or miscommunications concerning
expectations.
