SOW, ... would think it means "Sign Of Weakness". No, don´t know. Guess you want somebody to ask that question. Doing fine, thanks, and hope you as well Wolfgang -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Earl Moon [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Gesendet am: Dienstag, 13.

It is an ancient term having been used extensively during midEVIL times during the last century. Most people in the military and aerospace communities used the term as meaning design verification, as in ISO, meeting design intent, and validation as meeting customer contract requirements. I, when consulting, use the term to describe what I do. Hell, It's who I am. Not much interest in POD, as a term, but increasing in other words as we seek higher quality, more reliable product. Though the term POD has not made a significant come back, the term SOW has. It is a big part of POD. Everyone knows what a SOW is.
