I want repeated work written down where the team can find it

SOP and Business Knowledge Base

An SOP and knowledge base turns repeated work into clear instructions the team can find and follow.

SOP and Business Knowledge Base turns repeated work into clear instructions the team can find and follow. An SOP, or standard operating procedure, is the written step-by-step method for a repeated job; a knowledge base is the organized place where those instructions live.

How this gets fixed

Documented work in one findable place

The people doing the work are interviewed, the steps and exceptions are recorded, and the instructions are tested by somebody other than the person who explained them.

Each document identifies its owner, decision points, escalation path and review date. The final library can live in the business's existing document or knowledge platform.

The terms in plain English

  • An SOP, or standard operating procedure, is the written step-by-step method for a repeated job
