that failure comes as a complete

of worry and depression.”

Statement of Work — Purpose
Define the scope of the project
Establish customer expectations
Serve as a “contract” if necessary
Break Timer
A Good SOW will answer …
What is the purpose or goal of the
project?
Why is the project being done?
Who is the initial customer?
Who is the end user or final customer?
What are the customer deliverables?
What technical support is required for
the deliverables?
Break Timer
And continue to answer …
What is the budget?
What is the final date for the
deliverables?
What are the measurable success
indicators (metrics)?
What kind of support is required from
the customer?
What contingency plans are in place?

STATEMENT OF WORK
Date: Immediate Customer:
Contributors: Final End User:
PROJECT TITLE:
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the project is the goal; why you are doing the project. This should be clearly stated.
The project title should be a short, concise statement that defines the project.
Form completion date
Person or organization
requesting the work
Person or organization who will
use the results of the project
People who helped write the
statement of work
Break Timer
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The project background should contain information pertaining to the history of the project.
It also includes a statement that justifies the project.
 For a first draft, brief statements are acceptable. Formal statements of work
are usually in paragraph form.
 Supply information that explains the philosophy behind the project. Also
describe what makes the project unique/special.
 This information can be used later to:
– Leverage resources
– Gain support from external
organizations/departments
Many of the statements made in the background section must be substantiated in the
measurable success indicators section of the statement of work.
The project background includes the following key elements:
 History
 Justification
Some examples on the type of information to include in the project background section
include:
 Meet safety requirements
 Support business plan
 Meet quality requirements
 Meet customer expectations
 Improve performance/efficiency
– Accommodate management directives
– Accommodate changes
 Consequences
 Uniqueness of project
Break Timer
DELIVERABLES:
Deliverables are the outputs of the project. They are what is promised to the
customer.
 Deliverables are written as nouns. They are things.
 Quantities must be identified in this section.
 Include the major elements of the deliverables.
It is important to be very clear in the deliverables section. Misinterpretation of
project deliverables can establish incorrect customer expectations.
The following are examples of deliverables:
 Parts
 Prototypes
 Procedures
 Equipment
 Installation of equipment
 Written reports
 Test results
 Training
 Specifications
 Technical drawings
 Plans
Break Timer
STATEMENT OF WORK (Page 2)
MEASURABLE SUCCESS INDICATORS:
Measurable success indicators include concise, measurable, information that will be used to
determine if a project was successful. Measurable success indicators must substantiate any
statements made in the background section.
Include what is known about quality, cost, and schedule expectations.
Examples of measurable success indicators include:
 Complete project in three months
 Reduce mass by 30%
 Complete ROI for initial expenditure by Nov. 30, 20xx
 Achieved $1.00 reduction in piece cost
 Demonstrate meeting of EPA Standard # xxxx
 New process will require two fewer operators
 Stay within budget of $275,000.00
Two specific measurable success indicators which are most important in terms of seeing the
“big picture” of a project are:
 Overall schedule
 Budget
It’s also important to note any key milestone dates that have been established.
“SMART” is an acronym used to help write good measurable success indicators for a project.
The words which comprise the acronym SMART are:
 Specific
 Measurable
 Agreed upon
 Realistic
 Time (cost) framed
Quality

PROJECT RISK PLANS:
The customer support area provides a means to list the items and services that must be
provided by the customer/sponsor to ensure the success of the project. Examples include:
 Drawings
 Subject matter experts
 Equipment
CUSTOMER SUPPORT:
The last section of the statement of work is the risk plan. Risk plans consider the possibility of
an event occurring that would drastically alter the schedule, budget, or quality of the project.
 Identify what is likely to go wrong, and also what can have the most impact.
 Ask “What can go wrong?” “How will I handle it?”
 Put your statements in “If ______, then ______.” format
Examples of risk plans are:
 If a labor strike occurs, then outsource production.
 If supplier cannot ship materials in time, then contact another vendor.
 If design freeze date is not maintained, then use current product design.

What’s is the Critical Path?
 Path with least slack
 Path with longest duration
 Critical Path Method is a project management
technique that analyzes what activities have the least
amount of scheduling flexibility (i.e., are the most
mission-critical) and then predicts project duration
schedule based on the activities that fall along the
“critical path.”
 Activities that lie along the critical path cannot be delayed
without delaying the finish time for the entire project.
