|
- **Who does this process** (roles involved)
|
|
- **How often it runs** (daily / weekly / monthly / event-triggered)
|
|
- **Tools involved**
|
|
- **Known edge cases**
|
|
|
|

# Process: [Process Name]
|
|
**Owner:** [Role] | **Frequency:** [How often] | **Estimated time:** [Duration]
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Purpose
|
|
[1-2 sentences. Why does this process exist? What breaks if it is not done?]
|
|
|
|
### Scope
|
|
**In scope:** [What this covers]
|
|
**Out of scope:** [What it does not cover]
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
- [ ] [Required access or information]
|
|
- [ ] [Any dependency that must be completed first]
|
|

|
|
|
|
| Role | Responsibility |

|
### Process Steps
|
|
|
|
**Step 1: [Step name]**
|
|
- **Who:** [Role]
|
|
- **When:** [Trigger or timing]
|
|
- **How:** [Substeps numbered]

### Common Mistakes
|
|
[2-4 things people get wrong the first time]
|
|
|
|
### Escalation Path
|
|
[Name/role] → [Next level] → [Final escalation]
|
|
|
|
### Review
|
|
Next review due: [Date]
|
|
|
|
## Quality Checks
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Every step has a named role (not "someone" or "the team")
|
|
- [ ] Edge cases and exceptions table is complete
|
|
- [ ] Prerequisites are listed so someone new can prepare before starting
|
|
- [ ] Escalation path is named (specific people or roles, not just "your manager")
|
|
- [ ] Review date is set
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Patterns
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Do not write steps without specifying who is responsible for each — ownership must be explicit throughout
|
|
- [ ] Do not omit the escalation path — every process must say what happens when something goes wrong
|
|
- [ ] Do not document the ideal process if the real process differs — document reality, then note improvements separately
|
|
- [ ] Do not skip edge cases and exceptions — they are where most process failures actually occur
|
|
- [ ] Do not produce documentation without a review date — undated process docs quickly become incorrect
|
|
|
|
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
|
- "Document this process: [description]"
|
|
- "Write a process guide for [workflow]"
|
|
- "Map out how [process] works"
