Standard Operating Procedure
A formal operational procedure template detailing version control, responsibilities, step-by-step instructions, and compliance checklists.
View templateOperations Templates
Operations documents exist so the next person can do the work the same way. Choose the level of detail that matches the job: a whole process, a controlled procedure, a single task, or the training that teaches it.
How to choose
Write an SOP when the procedure is repeatable and needs ownership and document control. Write a Work Instruction when a specific task must be followed step by step. Use a Process Guide for the end-to-end flow across roles. Use a Training Guide when people still need to learn the work.
