How to start
Step 1. Define your templates
First things come firsts, determine what you do recurrently. Now, this may be splitted into dozens, if not hundreds of different steps, tasks, documents, deliverables: repeated within a same project.
Some engineering activities already have a process to follow, either volontarily (for instance, ISO 9001), or something imposed by a market (for instance EN 62304 for electronic medical devices). Or it may be a custom activities of your own, something your teams develop themselves. In any case, it is important that you have it, not only in mind, but on paper so that it becomes obvious for everyone.
