FAQ

What is a software development SOW?

It is a scope document that defines software deliverables, milestones, fees, acceptance criteria, and project responsibilities.

Should acceptance criteria be specific?

Yes. Specific acceptance criteria reduce disputes over whether software work is complete.

Does this replace a master services agreement?

It can be used alone for simple projects, but many teams attach it to a broader MSA.
