CONTEXT

When this template fits

Who it is for

For companies where work instructions and procedures are binding. As soon as a document circulates in two versions and nobody can say which applies, the process is overdue.

Where it typically stalls

At distribution. The document is released but sits on a drive the department does not know, and people keep working from the old version. The template makes announcing it its own step after release.

What it connects to

Downstream is every process working from a controlled instruction. The internal audit checks exactly this control.

Relation to standards

Documented information must be available, suitable and protected from unintended alteration, and obsolete versions must be identifiable. The template keeps release, distribution and archiving separate.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Part of these process maps

A single process says little about where it sits in the company. These maps show it among its neighbours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What people ask first

Can the template be imported into another tool?

Yes. The file is BPMN 2.0 XML and imports into any BPMS that supports the standard.

Yes. All templates are published under CC BY 4.0, so you may print, share and teach with them as long as you credit Procevia as the source.
