The Statement of Work Process
Every project should begin with a clear statement of direction and purpose, as found in a documented "Statement of Work" (SOW). PMS helps our clients plan, create and approve comprehensive SOW documents for any type of project.

The PMS Group explores the role and purpose of the "Statement of Work" in the project initiation process, discussing SOW objectives, goals, timing, contents and format guidelines.  PMS professionals conduct the following:

·          Plan a complete SOW production process (from tasks to resources).

·          Write SOW documents following useful content guidelines.

·          Use the "review tools" to collect comments and evaluate SOW contents, producing final documents based on collaborative cooperation.

·          Ensuring SOW documents are accepted using the "approval tools" - guarantee that your projects begin with tangible, documented, informed consent (and consensus).

·          Smart forms features include the ability to import and export forms data, lock data entries, apply digital signatures, and electronically distribute completed forms and templates via email, intranet or server document repository.
