Why process documentation fails

Writing it down was never the hard part.

A clean procedure takes an afternoon. The hard part is knowing it’s followed, and that people know when it changed.

Nobody knows who’s read itA procedure on a shared drive isn’t proof anyone follows it.
Old versions get lostWhich version applied in March, and who approved it?
No one signs off the final versionSomeone has to say: this is the one we follow now.

Turn SOPs into process maps

Work instructions for every activity

An activity nobody can follow isn’t a process.

Every activity answers four questions.

Who, when, how and why
Four questions
WHO
is responsible: a role or a team, never a person’s name
WHEN
triggers it: the event that starts this activity
HOW
it is done: the work instruction someone follows
WHY
it exists: the outcome that proves it worked

Build it once. Apply it to every client.

Group your template processes into packs and apply a pack to each client as drafts. The client keeps control of your access.

Version control and read confirmations

Manuals go out of date. This one shows you where.

Documents fall behind quietly: the work moves and the document doesn’t.
