Statement of work

A statement of work (SoW) is like a big list of things that you have to do. It is like when your teacher gives you a list of tasks that you have to complete for a project. The SoW has all the important details about what you need to do, how you need to do it, and when it needs to be done. It's like a map that helps you find your way through the project.

For example, let's say you're building a treehouse. The SoW would tell you all the things you need to do, like finding a good tree, measuring the wood you need, using tools like hammers and saws to cut the wood, hammering nails to put it together, painting it, and adding a ladder.

The SoW would also tell you when you need to finish each step, like "cut the wood by Saturday" or "paint the treehouse by the end of the month." This helps you stay on track and make sure you don't fall behind.

Overall, the SoW is like a big to-do list for a whole project. It tells you what you need to do, how you need to do it, and when it needs to be done.
