There are four types of potential SOP updates:

  1. Update. For example, screenshots that need to be changed.
  2. Simplification. For example, some descriptions are too wordy and can be simplified.
  3. Elimination. This is where certain steps are no longer necessary due to an app or process improvement.
  4. Automation. This is where something was being done manually but is now automated because of a script or app update.

Some suggestions

  • simple SOP updates can be updated by the team directly and then send out a notification to the team
  • complex SOP updates involve substantially changing the process OR eliminating it completely
