The correct answer is C. Backout plan. A Statement of Work (SOW) must include a backout plan - the defined procedure for reverting changes if the implementation fails. This is a critical component required before a project can proceed to the execution stage.
Question
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?
Options
- ARisk analysis
- BPlan to change
- CBackout plan
- DChange board approvals

Why each option
A Statement of Work (SOW) must include a backout plan - the defined procedure for reverting changes if the implementation fails. This is a critical component required before a project can proceed to the execution stage.
Risk analysis is a pre-project planning activity that should be completed before drafting the SOW, not added as a component of it.
A plan to change (change management plan) governs how modifications to the project scope are handled and is a separate document from the SOW.
A backout plan defines the specific steps to undo or reverse changes if the wireless implementation encounters critical problems, protecting the school's existing network. It is a mandatory element of an SOW in IT project management, ensuring the team has a documented recovery path before work begins.
Change board approvals are a governance step in the change management process, not a deliverable that belongs inside the SOW document itself.
