Briefing Note on Process Documentation

Briefing Note Process Documentation, Ton Schouten This Briefing Note was written for the training in Lodz by Ton Schouten. Since the road to achieving project objectives is not straight but ‘bumpy and curvy’, process documentation is aimed to help us learn from the curves and the bumps on the project road – what happened there, how and why did it happen? Process documentation can help projects to be smarter, but also provides outputs and a structure to engage a wider group of stakeholders in the debate about important social
development processes. Planning is an important step in process documentation, and includes deciding what you will document how and for what purpose as well as how to organise the materials gathered.
