A project team is organized to implement a new wireless solution for a school.
The team has already done the network diagrams and knows the locations that will need to be addressed in the project.
The team is in the process of creating an SOW for the project as a whole and needs to add the critical pieces to the SOW to complete it and move to the next stage.
Which of the following would the project team MOST likely add to the SOW?

The project team is implementing a new wireless solution for a school, and they have already done the network diagrams and identified the locations that will need to be addressed in the project. Now they need to create a Statement of Work (SOW) for the project as a whole and add the critical pieces to complete it and move to the next stage.
A Statement of Work (SOW) is a document that describes the work that will be performed under a contract or agreement. It typically includes the scope of the work, the deliverables, the timelines, the resources required, the quality standards, and the payment terms. In this case, the project team needs to add critical pieces to the SOW, and the options are:
A. Risk analysis: This is a process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks that may affect the project's objectives. A risk analysis helps the project team to anticipate potential problems and develop strategies to mitigate them. Adding a risk analysis to the SOW would provide a clear understanding of the project's potential risks, and the steps that will be taken to address them. Therefore, this could be a critical piece that the project team would add to the SOW.
B. Plan to change: A plan to change is a document that outlines the steps that will be taken to implement changes to the project plan or scope. It includes the procedures for submitting change requests, assessing the impact of changes, and obtaining approvals for changes. If the project team expects that there will be changes to the project plan or scope, they may add a plan to change to the SOW. However, since the team has already done the network diagrams and knows the locations that will need to be addressed in the project, it is less likely that they will need to add a plan to change to the SOW.
C. Backout plan: A backout plan is a document that outlines the steps that will be taken to revert to the previous state if the project implementation fails or encounters problems. It includes the procedures for testing the backout plan, implementing the backout plan, and verifying the results. A backout plan is essential in case of unforeseen issues that may arise during the project implementation. Therefore, the project team may add a backout plan to the SOW.
D. Change board approvals: A change board is a group of stakeholders who are responsible for reviewing and approving changes to the project plan or scope. If the project team expects that there will be significant changes that require approval from the change board, they may add this to the SOW. However, since the team has already done the network diagrams and knows the locations that will need to be addressed in the project, it is less likely that they will need to add change board approvals to the SOW.
In summary, the critical piece that the project team would MOST likely add to the SOW is a risk analysis or a backout plan.
