Frequently Asked Questions

What is a method of procedure (MOP)?

A method of procedure is a detailed, step-by-step document that describes exactly how a planned change will be executed - including pre-checks, execution steps, validation, rollback and success criteria. MOPs are widely used in IT operations, telecom, networking and data center management.

What should a method of procedure include?

A complete MOP includes the change purpose and scope, change window, impacted systems and stakeholders, prerequisites and pre-checks, step-by-step execution procedure, validation tests, rollback plan, success criteria, escalation contacts and approval signatures.

What is the difference between a MOP and an SOP?

An SOP describes a recurring, repeatable process - the standard way to do something. A MOP describes a specific, planned change - usually one-time or scheduled. SOPs apply broadly; MOPs apply to a specific change window. MOPs often reference SOPs for recurring sub-tasks.

How do you write a method of procedure?

Start with the change purpose and scope. List prerequisites and pre-checks. Document each execution step in precise detail - assume the executor needs full guidance. Include validation steps and a tested rollback plan. Have peers review the MOP, then get formal approval before the change window.

Who approves a method of procedure?

MOP approval typically involves the change requestor, the technical lead, the operations or NOC team and a change advisory board (CAB) for higher-risk changes. The level of approval depends on the change's impact and risk - aligned with your ITIL change management policy.
