Course overview

If you don't document, you can't scale.

This 3-hour workshop will provide guidance and a template for creating process steps, structure, naming, and visuals.

Note: The class does not cover process mapping or process levels.

The workshop includes pre-work, individual work time on actual documentation for your business, peer review time to test your document's clarity, and group discussions.

This workshop is also offered as part of a larger 4-day course, if you're looking for help prioritizing where to start, setting up a system, and handling objections from other people. https://maven.com/jen-bergren/documentation1

The next workshop will be on Nov. 12, 2024, from 8-11 AM Pacific time.
