How to Use This Template
Step 1: Describe the project background
Provide a brief overview of the project goals and context. This section helps anyone reading the document understand why the work is being done.
Step 2: List all deliverables with acceptance criteria
For each deliverable, describe what it is, the expected format or output, and how the client will evaluate whether it meets expectations.
Step 3: Define timeline and payment schedule
Map deliverables to milestones with dates and tie payment triggers to milestone completion so both sides know what to expect and when.
Step 4: Clarify exclusions and change process
State what is not included in the scope and describe how change requests will be handled — including additional cost or timeline impact.
