Project management Work breakdown structure

1 The work breakdown structure provides a common framework for

the natural development of the overall planning and control of a

contract and is the basis for dividing work into definable increments from which the statement of work can be developed and technical, schedule,

cost, and labor hour reporting can be established.


Reliability engineering - Reliability requirements

1 These requirements are generally specified in the contract statement of

work and depend on how much leeway the customer wishes to

provide to the contractor


Reliability engineering - Reliability testing

1 The scoring conference process

is defined in the statement of work


Systems development life-cycle - Work breakdown structured organization

1 Any part of the project needing support from contractors should have a statement of work (SOW) written to

include the appropriate tasks from the SDLC phases


Documentation - Documentation in computer science

1 Requirements/ Statement of work/

Scope of Work (SOW)


Lockheed Martin - Management theories

1 Tier2 Functional Leads (Finance, Chief Engineer, Quality, Operations, etc.) and

Tier3 IPT Leads (Weapon System Development, Weapon System

Integration, etc.) report to Tier1. Functional leads ensure appropriate

resources are provided to programs. IPT leads are responsible for entire systems

or products defined by the contract’s Statement of Work.


Request for proposal - Specifications

1 Once both the parties i.e. a buyer organization and seller organization

agree on the technical and commercial terms and conditions of the proposal, they could move on to

next steps like contract signing, statement of work which would

formalize the purchase transactions.


Call for bids - Double envelope system

1 In an open bid or tender system, a double envelope system may be

used. The double envelope system separates the technical proposal

(statement of work) from the financing or cost proposal in the form

of two separate and sealed envelopes.


Integrated master schedule - Attributes and Characteristics

1 The IMP provides Program Traceability by expanding and complying with the

program's Statement of Objectives (SOO), Technical Performance

Requirements (TPRs), the Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS), and the

Contract Statement of work|Statement of Work (CSOW)—all of which are based on the Customer's WBS to form the basis of

the IMS and all cost reporting


Deliverables

1 In contracted efforts, deliverable may refer to an item specifically required by contract documents, such as an

item on a Contract Data Requirements List or mentioned in

the Statement of work|statement of work.


Systems Development Life Cycle - Work breakdown structured organization

1 Any part of the project needing support from contractors should have a statement of work (SOW) written to

include the appropriate tasks from the SDLC phases

Schedule (project management)

1 Elements on a schedule may be closely related to the Work

Breakdown Structure (WBS) Work breakdown structure#Terminal element|terminal elements, the Statement of work, or a Contract

Data Requirements List.


Government contract - Preparing a proposal

1 Frequently, contractor proposals in response to a Request for Proposals

(RFP) include an exact copy of the RFP's statement of work. An offeror's response

usually indicates their approach to performing the statement of work, their approach to managing the program or

project, and examples of past performance on projects similar in size,

scope, and complexity.


Government contract - Statement of Work

1 The statement of work (SOW) is a formal document submitted along with the request for proposal (RFP) to a vendor that defines the work to be

performed, the location of the work, the deliverable schedule, applicable performance

standards, any special requirements (e.g., security clearances, travel, and special knowledge), and

the period of performance.FAR 8.405-2 [https://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%208_4.html#wp1091211] Ordering procedures

for services requiring a statement of work


Government contract - Source Selection Criteria

1 # Lowest Price (LP) that is Technically Acceptable (TA) based on statement of work (SOW) (LPTA) (use this for VERY SIMPLE BUYS – for example,

pencils)


Government contract - Modifications

1 Scope analysis is not mechanical, but requires an integrated assessment of multiple factors, including contract type, specification or statement of work, cost and performance period


Construction bidding

1 The tender is treated as an offer to do the work for a certain amount of

money (firm price), or a certain amount of profit (cost reimbursement

or cost plus). The tender which is submitted by the competing firms is

generally based on a bill of quantities, a bill of approximate quantities or other specifications which enable the tenders attain higher levels of accuracy, the

statement of work.


Flight Test - Military aircraft flight test

1 These performance requirements are documented to the manufacturer in the aircraft specification and the

details of the flight test program (among many other program

requirements) are spelled out in the statement of work


CDRL

1 CDRLs should be linked directly to Statement of work|Statement of

Work (SOW) tasks and managed by the program office data manager


CDRL

1 (Altering or adding to DID language would obviously make it no longer a standard DID available by simple citation, pre-approved,

and readily handled by existing United States Department of Defense|Department

of Defense processes.) The CDRL form provides a block for simple citation of which DID it is, as well as where it is mentioned in

the Statement of work|SOW and what part(s) of the overall Work Breakdown

Structure it is involved with.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-statement-of-work-toolkit.html

Data Item Descriptions - Terminology

1 Within a military solicitation or contract, each DID is uniquely numbered to identify the data

deliverables in terms of specific information such as: purpose,

description, preparation instructions including a table of contents and descriptions of each section, and

references to the Contract Statement of work (SOW).


Data Item Descriptions - Usage in government contracts

1 Writers of a Statement of work|SOW often include requirements that belong in other

parts of a contract. Specifically, quantitative technical requirements are addressed in the military specification and work requirements

are specified in the SOW, and data requirements (e.g., delivery, format, and content) should be in the Contract Data Requirements List|CDRL along with the

appropriate DID to minimize the potential for conflict.


Crew Exploration Vehicle - Competition

1 The concept for the vehicle was officially announced in a speech given by George W. Bush at NASA Headquarters on January 14, 2004. The Draft Statement of Work for the CEV was issued by NASA on December 9, 2004, and slightly more than one month

later, on January 21, 2005, NASA issued a Draft RFP|Request For Proposal (RFP). The

Final RFP was issued on March 1, 2005, with the potential bidders being asked to answer

by May 2, 2005.


Statement of work

1 A 'statement of work' (SOW) is a formal document that captures and defines the

work activities, deliverables, and timeline a vendor must execute in performance of

specified work for a client. The SOW usually includes detailed requirements and pricing, with standard regulatory and governance terms and conditions. It thus overlaps in

concept with a contract, and indeed SOWs are often legally equivalent to contracts.


Statement of work - Overview

1 Many formats and styles of Statement of Work document

templates have been specialized for the hardware or software solutions

described in the Request for Proposal. Many companies create their own customized version of

SOWs that are specialized or generalized to accommodate typical requests and proposals they receive.


Statement of work - Overview

1 Note that in most cases the Statement of Work is a binding

contract. Master Service Agreements or Consultant/Training Service

agreements postpone certain work-specific contractual components that

are addressed in individual Statements of Work.


Statement of work - Areas addressed

1 A statement of work typically addresses these subjects.


Statement of work - United States government contracts

1 but may also be inserted as an attachment in Section J. In task orders, the SOW may simply be included among the terms and conditions of

the order itself. The SOW is often supplemented by technical reference documents and

attachments. In developing the SOW, it is important to ensure that the statement of work is comprehensive and sufficiently detailed, but that the statements do not duplicate terms and conditions or other provisions elsewhere in the

solicitation or contract.


Statement of work - United States government contracts

1 The Statement of Work should be directly linked to deliverables shown in the CDRL form. This is done by having each CDRL entry include

reference to the SOW paragraph(s) that produces or uses the item, and the SOW text should be clear where

it is discussing a deliverable by using the title or parenthesizing the item

number (for example, [A-001]).https://store.theartofservice.com/the-statement-of-work-toolkit.html
