    The Most Important Documents Every Company Must Have

    Much more than just a handful of important documents that every company must have. It’s also about how to kick-start your company’s knowledge management system and to seed a culture of effective quality communications.

To kick-start this knowledge management system, Manuel has provided a few of the most important document templates you will need, starting with a checklist template that you will use for everything from new client onboarding to new workstations to archiving users and beyond.

    How To Document Any Process

    $29.95

    Sometimes the hardest thing to accomplish is the documentation for the thing you’re building. It’s the bane of your existence if you’re in any field that performs repetitive work of any kind. And if it’s not just the documentation of what you built but also how to use it, well that comes in pretty handy when you want to show someone how to actually use what you built. From a light bulb to an electron microscope, knowing how to build one of these can change a nation overnight. But who has time for that?

    Imagine if you had the most commonly performed processes, no matter how simple, documented in one place. Like the onsite service call process, or maybe the new user onboarding checklist and how to use it. Let’s say we store these in a Standards and Procedures guide or Standard Operating Procedure manual. And what if the SaP or SOP was in a Wiki on SharePoint for everyone to see?
