How to document a process change
PURPOSE
Documenting process changes helps users understand what changed, why it changed, and what they need to do differently.
INCLUDE
Previous process, new process, effective date, affected users, reason for change, owner, and related articles or forms.
COMMUNICATE IMPACT
Call out deadlines, action required, and exceptions.
UPDATE RELATED CONTENT
Review linked articles, templates, screenshots, and FAQs.
BEST PRACTICE
A process change is not complete until the documentation changes too.
