Review the task details <\/h2>\n
\n

Check the task to find out what is required. Is a written document required? Is a process map required in addition to the written steps? What is the level of details required?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Review the resources provided <\/h2>\n
\n

Resources can be provided in the form of blog posts, infographics, websites, internal documents, books, samples, templates etc.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Read each resource and make notes <\/h2>\n
\n

Looking at one resource at a time, read all the information to get an overview of the quality and quantity of content. Usually, there will be similar points that stand out within the resource. <\/p>\n

Take notes by hand or in a digital note and summarise the information. For example, there may be a clear explanation that can be used to describe the purpose of the process. There may be an image that can be used to help with an explanation. There may be a formula that can be included.<\/p>\n

In all resources, there will be steps to follow, these need to be clearly documented to form the process. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Start to write a draft of the process <\/h2>\n
\n

Taking the top notes from each resource, start to write out the process. Always include the following:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Name of the process<\/li>\n
  2. Purpose<\/li>\n
  3. Tasks\/Steps<\/li>\n
  4. Any additional reference<\/li>\n
  5. Clear reference to the source if using a quote, image or formula<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Get the outline made first.Start with the title and purpose first. Then write out the main steps without additional reference details, these can be filled in later. If putting the process in process st, the order of the steps can be moved around. If using a word doc template, text can be cut and pasted as you work<\/p>\n

    Start with the title and purpose first. Then write out the main steps without additional reference details, these can be filled in later. If putting the process in process st, the order of the steps can be moved around. If using a word doc template, text can be cut and pasted as you work through the steps. <\/p>\n

    Once all the steps in the process are in order. Go back to each step and add more details as required. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    How to interpret the information <\/h2>\n
    \n

    If there is a lot of information of the same nature, it is easier to find the tasks\/steps. Often there can be a lot of information and the steps are harder to pull from the content. Also, there may be an article on the same topic but the information is different or conflicting. Here are some tips to handle each situation:<\/p>\n

    A lot of information of the same nature:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    There will usually be a pattern that is repeated throughout the resources. This means that the process steps are the same or very similar. In this case, it is easy to see how to build the process.<\/p>\n

    For example:<\/u><\/p>\n

    Process Name: How to Grow Vegetables<\/u><\/p>\n

    Three articles from the internet and they all say (in a similar way) that the first thing to do when growing your own vegetables is to decide on the type of vegetables that will grow best in your area. Two articles may recommend that the next step is to do a soil check, one article may say that the next thing to do is measure the area you have to grow vegetables. In this case, it doesn't really matter which step is next as either option would work. If in doubt, go with what the majority suggests. <\/p>\n
