Scope of work vs statement of work
A scope of work describes the work and deliverables. A statement of work is the wider project document that adds timeline, fees, acceptance and sign-off. Start with the statement of work template or the scope of work template, or pick your industry below.
What’s the most important part of a scope of work?
The exclusions. Most disputes are about work one side assumed was included.
Who signs the statement of work?
Both the client and the provider, before work starts.
Does a statement of work replace a contract?
Not usually. It sits under a contract or master service agreement that holds the legal terms.
