Instructions
Work Breakdown Schedule
As the project manager, your role is to track and manage the
projects you are working on; creating a Statement of Work and
a Work Breakdown Structure are tools that can help you manage
a project or projects. Below you will create a Statement of work
consisting of the basics of the project(s) you are working on.
Consider this similar to a business or marketing report, but this
will define the project, project scope, and overall strategy of the
project.
Part One
Statement of Work (SOW) Document:
Develop the project Statement of Work document to include the
following information:
· Business need
· Product scope description
· Strategic plan

Template.
