Documenting <strong>Process</strong>es Example - 3<br />

Specific Guidance (cont)<br />

• <strong>Process</strong> Steps:<br />

— Numbering should match identifier sequence (e.g. if process<br />

ID is 2.0, then first process step is 2.1, etc.)<br />

— Starts with a verb phrase (e.g. perform, conduct, create, etc.)<br />

— Do not exceed 3 levels of decompositions (e.g. x.x.x.x is<br />

maximum depth)<br />

— If process steps exceed 8-10, then decomposition needs to be<br />

reexamined<br />

— Include procedure names when referencing procedures<br />

— <strong>Process</strong>es may call other pre-defined processes (include<br />

process identifier in the step)<br />
