SOP skeleton
Write it once, so quality stops depending on memory.
Who this is for: Anyone whose team asks the same how-do-I question more than twice.
What is inside
- The minimum viable SOP: six sections, nothing ceremonial
- How to write steps someone can follow on their first day
- Where exceptions and edge cases belong
- A review cadence that keeps SOPs from going stale
One thing most people get wrong
Write the first draft while doing the task, not from memory. Memory skips the steps that are hardest for a newcomer.
