Project/product specifications or SOWs are placed in a procurement process to guarantee the necessary quality of the purchased materials and consistency throughout the life span of the product are all realized. Specifications/SOWs also work as docs and legal agreements binding the buyer, the service provider/suppliers, and the sub-contractors.
Thus, professionally penned and clearly outlined requirements will most likely prevent product or service downfalls, repair costs, and legal disputes. Please develop a discussion on how specifications or SOWs can avoid the above issues.
