Statement of Scope (SOS) The SOS usually opens with a problem statement. This statement captures a description of the catalysts which are related to the project’s rationale and a summary of the new product/service that is being created. This section of the SOS often reads like an executive summary of the entire project. An important content area of the SOS is the list of product/service characteristics/ requirements and features. This section often reflects the shared vision that was negotiated between the project manager, stakeholders, and team members. Product services listed here not only reflect what is being included in the project, but how it will be implemented (i.e. level of complexity, functionality, depth etc.). This section can also include statements about the items that will not be addressed in the current scope of the project. Other sections in a SOS may include a list of anticipated benefits and project success criteria. There may also be a section which summarizes the list of deliverables that will be included in the scope of the project. 1.
