80% of organizations spend half their time on rework - FinancesOnline, 94 Essential Project Management Statistics
Why organizations spend so much time on rework? Because projects lack clearly defined objectives and deliverables.
How do organizations develop clear objectives and deliverables, and therefore avoid costly, inefficient re-work?
By creating a detailed Statement of Work (SoW).
A detailed Statement of Work (SoW), when created properly and signed by both parties, can be used as a single source of truth for the whole project team and can be referred back to, over the course of the project.
It should determine what’s in scope and included within the original project cost, and what’s not in scope, and therefore needs to be paid for.
