Troubleshooting … and SOPs   ---   Things change.   Things break.   If you relied on these things…   You might have to troubleshoot.     Sometimes that troubleshooting results in a change of process, and a modification to your SOP.   Examples: * an interface change means menu options are now in a different place, or * you've got different form fields to fill out   Sometimes that troubleshooting is just that: Troubleshooting.   Example: * you've handled this "glitch" before, and it has a standard "fix"   In this latter case …. Your SOP needs an addendum.   Something along the lines of "troubleshooting the event calendar setup"   Because that troubleshooting is NOT part of daily operations.   But it DOES come up.   And you don't want to waste time and energy on trying to remember how you handled it last time.   Or figuring it out again because the person who handled it last time now works somewhere else. (Don't let that institutional memory walk out the door with your former employees or vendors.)   ---   Documenting your troubleshooting addendum can seem hard to do if * your tech support is outsourced * you don't feel like you have a "standard" fix worthy of an addendum     In the case of outsourcing, you can document something like "Hosting company said they had to [fill in the blank]."   Which can help you: * save time and energy trying to fix it yourself, when it's out of your control and your tech support company is the one that has to fix it * have a more fruitful initial call with tech support, because you can say something like "last time I called about this, the problem was …. and this was the fix …."     In the case of feeling like you don't have a "standard" fix worthy of an addendum * document the steps you took to fix it anyway - if it comes up again, this might end up being your "standard" fix … or the thing that helps you realize you need a process change     Either way, you'll have retained the institutional memory essential to keeping your business up & running … even when things change & break. #SOPs #SystemsThinking #InstitutionalMemory #Troubleshooting
