Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are detailed, step-by-step guidelines designed to ensure consistency and efficiency in tasks and processes. They serve as essential tools for maintaining quality, improving productivity, and fostering accountability within organizations.

HubSpot has published ‘How I Write Effective SOPs: A Complete Guide‘.

Shadrack Wanjohi says, “By the end of this guide, you‘ll have the tools and insights to write SOPs that save time, eliminate errors, and scale your productivity. You’ll even discover top templates and tools to make implementation effortless.

Types of SOPs

SOPs fall into three main categories: technical, administrative, and quality control.

  • Technical SOPs guide precise operations like software deployment or equipment setup. For instance, when you need to standardize your website updates, create a technical SOP that reduces deployment errors.
  • Administrative SOPs streamline business processes such as invoice handling and client onboarding. I have found them valuable for these tasks and for email management. I witnessed how the agency’s administrative SOPs successfully reduced client onboarding time from two weeks to just three days.”
