What is a statement of work?

View your  Statement of Work as a formal document that outlines:

  • Services that you plan to offer. Serving teams and employee lead information will be available in this section.
  • Deliverables that are to be provided. For example, software infrastructure and operations may have multiple deliverables and fees listed.
  • Payment mechanics: Within this clause, you’ll add how payments are to be made and when.

SOW covers the execution of the work and allows for a predefined scope of work. Clients cannot come back and ask for services outside of the scope because all services are explicitly mentioned within the SOW.

If scope creep does occur, service providers can refer back to the SOW that the client signed to prevent work outside of the agreed-upon services.

Acceptance criteria may be added to the clauses section of the SOW as an added safeguard for all parties. For example, if a web development company is developing an app for a client, the SOW may claim that the standards of work are met when the app is accepted on the App Store.

Who needs a statement of work?

Two main parties need a statement of work:

  • Service providers
  • Clients

If you have a [Master Services Agreement](/en/templates/master-service-agreement-msa-software-it/, are a project or operations manager, vendor, or organization requiring multiple SOWs, our template is for you.

Adapt your template in seconds, create multiple ones, and easily add or remove clauses to better fit your needs.

For example, you may be paid in multiple milestones for a large project and in a single payment for a small one, depending on the clauses you add.

What clauses should a statement of work include?

A Statement of Work template can include multiple clauses, including but not limited to the following:

Services

A services clause is one that often includes the employees who will serve the company during the service. Employee lead information and email addresses may be provided, too.

Deliverables

Outlines what the service provider agrees to deliver during the term of the agreement. This includes the deliverables, fees, and teams responsible for each service.

Payment mechanics

Outlines when invoices will be sent, to whom they will be sent, and when they will be paid. For example, the service provider may invoice for all work delivered in the previous month.
