scope of work
Defined task parameters
Scope of work is a document or section of a contract that defines what a project will deliver—the specific tasks, deliverables, timelines, and boundaries of the work to be performed.
It establishes expectations between parties and serves as a reference point for measuring completion: The scope of work includes website design but not content creation.
Often abbreviated SOW.
