The goal is to make the next steps obvious and reduce back-and-forth later.  \nQuick workflow  \n• Start with the Creative Brief (or intake notes) so goals and constraints are clear.  \n• Fill the Deliverables table with specific outputs (not vague activities) .  \n• Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable (what you will review against) .  \n• List assumptions (inputs you need from the client, access, approvals) .  \n• Write an explicit out-of-scope list to protect the timeline.  \n• If something changes, route it through a Change Request (options + impact + approval) .  \nKeep it specific  \nAvoid placeholders like \"design support\" or \"website updates\". Instead: \"Homepage redesign (desktop + mobile)\" or \"Set up 3 email templates\".  \nWhat to send the client  \nSend the Plain-English SOW when you want speed and clarity. Use the Formal SOW when your client prefers a more clause-based structure.  \nTemplates • Client Ops  \nPlain-English Scope of Work  \nCopy/paste this section into a Doc and replace the bracketed placeholders.
