Your best processes live inside the heads of two or three people — and every time one of them is out sick, the whole team scrambles.
What is it
A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a documented, step-by-step set of instructions that describes how to perform a routine business process. SOPs ensure consistency, reduce errors, support training, and are often required for regulatory compliance and quality certifications like ISO 9001.
