Once you have management support for your project, as the British might say, we get down to brass tacks and into the details of how to build this library. There are three steps to focus on for this activity.

1. Selecting the tasks
2. Documenting the tasks
3. Reviewing and approving the tasks

1. Selecting the tasks

Determining which Tasks are to be included is the first step. Select tasks based on the following criteria:

• How often they appear in other processes
• Their importance to the success of the processes outcome
• If governance and compliance is important
• Meeting documentation standards
• They have to clearly communicated to staff or other users
• Inclusion in Standard Operating Procedures manual or documentation

While this is list is not exhaustive and there will be additions and exceptions it should give you a good start to the project.
