Question:
You have been tasked to manage a major proposal for a new system development. One of the requirements in the Request for proposal (RFP) is that the contractors prepare a Statement of Work (SOW), a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), and an Integrated Schedule to be included in the response to the RFP. The person you intend to assign to this task will need guidance. Briefly discuss the guidance on purpose and content of the SOW, WBS, and Schedule that you will give to this person to assure a "job well done".

Explanation / Answer

The guidance on Statement of work is that the statement shall identify the area in which we deal with and as to how can we help our client. The work breakdown structure shall include the phase wise completion of the project and also the estimates of cost time and other fixed and variable factors. The schedule is very important as the client business might be affected if the project is not delivered in time therefore a roadmap that gives the right schedule is to be there.
