Look up guideline in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A guideline is a statement by which to determine a course of action. It aims to streamline particular processes according to a set routine or sound practice.[1] They may be issued by and used by any organization (governmental or private) to make the actions of its employees or divisions more predictable, and presumably of higher quality. A guideline is similar to a rule, but are legally less binding as justified deviations are possible.[2]
