This SoW vs. Project Charter Comparison demonstrates that there is no distinction between a scope of work and a statement of work. A project charter, on the other hand, will include a scope of work. A statement of work is a lengthy, legally binding contract, whereas a project charter is a more concise, highlevel, nonlegal overview. Project charters are frequently created after the SOW. You should take statement of work documents seriously. While you should strive to keep them as concise as possible, they must also be detailed and accurate. One minor blunder could lead to a lifetime of misery. To get started, you can use EdrawMax to create this Comparision of SoW and Project Charter diagram.
