Instructions
The most common and direct way to document a procedure is a textual set of instructions. These may include both general guidelines for work and specific steps that must be completed.
Worksheets
Procedures are often presented as worksheets that can be filled out as you complete work. These may capture data or act as an audit trail to confirm work was done according to standard practices.
Policy & Procedure
A policy is a set of rules or guidelines that are adopted by an organization, group, institution or government. These are often intertwined with procedures such that they are commonly captured by the same document known as policy & procedures.
