SOW
No matter what industry you’re in, the one constant throughout the life cycle of a project is paperwork. There is always plenty of paperwork to create, have approved, file and finally archive. All of those documents are important, but the Statement of Work (SoW) is easily one of the most important because it’s made at the outset of a project and outlines everything that needs to go into your project.
Using effective project planning tools and a thorough and well-written statement of work will set you up to successfully lead a project over the finish line on schedule and within budget.

The SoW is the document that captures and defines all aspects of your project. You’ll note the activities, deliverables and the timetable for the project. It’s an extremely detailed document as it will lay the groundwork for the project plan.
