SAM is a resource for tools, samples, examples, guidance, and training. An integral part of successfully obtaining a service contract is completing the Requirements Roadmap Worksheet. The key objective of the Roadmap is to facilitate developing a Performance Work Statement (PWS) based on clear Task Statements and Performance Standards.
Task Statements define what specific actions or outcomes must be accomplished to satisfy a requirement. They consist of verbs and nouns that objectively describe the outcome or performance requirement.
To watch a video about writing effective Task Statements, visit the Video Kiosk. For a list of sample verbs and nouns often used to create Task Statements, go to the Sample Performance Element Components page.
