# standard operating procedure

A stable, repeatable instruction set for completing a task.

A standard operating procedure should be short enough to use during work and specific enough to reduce guesswork. Include the decision points that cause errors, and give the owner a review date. It should link to the system, template, or checklist the person actually uses.
