This is probably one of the most detailed SOPs and I feel like when I have come across other SOPs in the past, your's is probably by far.... one of the best and something that I would like to replicate myself learning how you incorporated such detail....because I feel like everyone else's SOPs are kind of crappy and very generic....I mean yours are actually very detailed which means less training when new team members come on board, am I right?
Thanks! Yes you're right, when onboarding a new team member it's a lot less time-consuming now as we have this very detailed SOP. I like to write out all the steps to follow so that someone who's never done the task before can understand what to do on their first try.
@minor-co I mean how do you feel about keeping the written documentation in asana? I know it isn't the use case, but the easy indexing with asana search is great.
Thanks! We already use Google Drive and Docs as part of our Google Workspace subscription so I figured it's easiest to just use this rather than introduce a new tool like Notion.
This is pure gold. Would love more of this style of content. Thanks as always.
Thank you Ralph!

Good one
Thank you!
Nice Paul!
Thank you Dave! Hope you’re well.
Totally - behind the scenes how experts use the software is definitely gold
Thanks, glad this was useful!
Paul what do you think about storing sops in asana instead of docs?
I do both (as mentioned in the video). Asana is more for checklists where we need to check off tasks. Docs is for written documentation.
@minor-co I mean how do you feel about keeping the written documentation in asana? I know it isn't the use case, but the easy indexing with asana search is great.
I see. You could do this. I like having it in Google Docs where there are more formatting options and we can add comments.
Paul - this is very helpful. What's the rationale for not using something like Notion vs. Google Documents?

@@minor-co thanks. That is helpful.
How much of these SOPs is Paul work vs delegated work? As a manager I struggle to find ways to delegate SOP creation, but that's the eventual goal.
I (Paul) create most of the SOP's so I can delegate work to my team. Some of my team update the SOPs as our processes change.
@@minor-co Thanks Paul.
