What is the meaning of the acronym CSOW?

A statement of work that is part of a contingency plan; it is commonly linked with Contingency reserves.
A statement of work that has been formally agreed upon by both parties and is therefore part of a contract.
A statement of work that is currently valid; this contrasts with the scope baseline, a formerly valid SOW.
A statement of work on project level that cumulates statements of work on cost account level

The correct answer is: A statement of work that has been formally agreed upon by both parties and is therefore part of a contract.

A, C, and D are incorrect because they all refer to different types of statements of work that do not accurately represent the meaning of the acronym CSOW. A is referring to a contingency plan, C refers to a scope baseline, and D refers to project and cost account level statements of work. The correct answer, B, accurately represents that CSOW stands for "contract statement of work" and is referring to a formal agreement between two parties.
