Process documentation is the glue that holds cross-functional workflows together — and the most under-invested kind of doc in most companies. This template gives you a single structure that works for engineering (release process), sales (lead handoff), support (escalation paths), and ops (vendor onboarding). Combine with Guidyy to auto-fill the click-by-click steps.

01
The process documentation template
Most process docs fail because they describe a workflow without naming the handoff points. This template makes the handoffs explicit.
- Process name and owning team
- Triggers — what kicks off this process
- Inputs — what info is needed to start
- Steps and handoffs — who does what, who hands off to who
- Outputs — what the process produces
- SLAs / expected timing per step
- Failure modes and rollback steps
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When should I use process documentation vs an SOP?+
SOPs are single-team tasks. Process docs are cross-functional. If more than one team is involved, you want a process doc.
