What document defines what is to be accomplished on a project?

• A. Project Charter
• B. Scope of Work
• C. Statement of Work
• D. Requirements Document

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is capturing exactly what will be delivered and how it will be accomplished. The Statement of Work does that by laying out the specific work to be performed, the deliverables, the acceptance criteria, the schedule, and responsibilities. It translates project goals into concrete tasks and measurable outcomes, and it often serves as the contractual basis for the work with a vendor or contractor.

The project charter gives authorization and high-level objectives, not the detailed work plan. The scope of work describes the tasks to be performed but may not include the full contractual details or acceptance criteria that define “done.” The requirements document lists needs and constraints but doesn’t specify the actual work to be completed.

So, the document that defines what is to be accomplished on a project is the Statement of Work.
