SOP Maker

Make a repeated procedure understandable

A standard operating procedure explains how a defined task should be performed. A visual SOP highlights the sequence, decisions, and handoffs so readers can find the next action.

Document work that should be repeatable

Use a flowchart when a procedure has approvals, exceptions, or more than one responsible role. The example follows employee onboarding through orientation, document checks, access setup, and training.

Write for the person doing the work

1. State the trigger and end condition. Readers need to know when the procedure applies and when it is complete.
2. Use action verbs. Describe what to do rather than naming a vague topic.
3. Assign a responsible role. A handoff is incomplete if nobody owns the next step.
4. Describe exception paths. Include what happens when information is missing or a check fails.
5. Identify the reviewed version. Keep the owner and revision date with the approved procedure.

Convert operational notes into a draft

MyMap organizes your instructions into steps and decision branches. Ask to add a role label or clarify an exception, then review the procedure with the people responsible for it.
