Overview

If someone new joins and looks at the process document, it all makes sense. But then… they actually start working. And that’s where things change.

In reality, work rarely follows the exact process that’s documented. Not because people are careless. But because real situations don’t always match ideal scenarios. So adjustments happen. Someone skips a step to save time.

Someone adds an extra check because something didn’t feel right. Someone uses a different tool because it’s faster. Individually, these decisions make sense. They help get work done. But over time, they create a gap.

What’s written as the process and what actually happens start drifting apart. The documented version remains clean and structured.
