Frequently asked questions

What is an SOP and why write one?
An SOP — standard operating procedure — is simply a documented, step-by-step guide to how a recurring task should be done. Writing one for the important or fiddly tasks in your work brings real benefits: quality and consistency (it's done the same correct way every time, regardless of who's doing it or how distracted they are), reduced errors (a checklist catches the steps people forget under pressure), easier training and handover (a new person or a colleague covering can just follow it), and less reliance on any one person's memory. The best SOPs are clear and concise: list what's needed upfront, number the steps in order, flag common mistakes, and note any quality check at the end. They're especially worth creating for tasks that are done regularly, are easy to get wrong, or that someone else might need to pick up — turning knowledge that's stuck in one person's head into something the whole team can use.
